00:00 - Riflemen from C Coy practise building clearance drills while training in Finland. Operating in built up areas is a fundamental skill for any rifleman and requires teamwork, initiative and composure. #BritishArmy #SwiftAndBold #Actwithrespect #Alwaysready #LaserFocusedOnWinning
- Suppressing the enemy! C Coy and Finnish commanders issue fire control orders to direct fire onto the enemy while on Exercise Vigilant Fox in 🇫🇮 A heavy rate of accurate fire will prevent the enemy from moving, fixing them in position so we can attack. Nopea ja rohkea!
