Urban training in action at Copehill Down
As operations in Afghanistan draw down, soldiers are relearning their urban warfare skills in a new course launched this week at Copehill Down. Members of the Field Training Team (FTU) teach instructors new ways of fighting in built-up areas at Copehill Down Training Village.

I've been searching on the internet because I want to make a No. 2 Dress of a Foot Guards sergeant, just a jacket with a shirt and a head dress for my collection.
Does anybody have information or even regulations on what items I need and where to put them on the uniform (chevrons and other insgina).
Thanks a lot!
Interesting mix of cap-badges in Copehill Down; 6 Rifles, London Regt (fusiliers and guards), PWRR...
What would be the point in only training up instructors from one regiment?Originally Posted by happyslapper
My bad, missed that it was instructors.

40 Commando Train for Afghanistan
On the surface Norfolk and Afghanistan might not seem too similar, but for the Royal Marines of 40 Commando the county has provided a realistic training ground to ready themselves for any future call overseas. At the Stanford Training Area near Thetford in Norfolk, Exercise Pashtun Panther used vast numbers of role-players to prepare 40 Commando’s Rifle Companies for the role they might play in Afghanistan. 31/05/2012
