Summary

Description
English: Fresh from playing an important role in supporting the military response to the multi-agency flood relief effort in Dorset, it is back out on to Salisbury Plain Training Area for Army Reservists from the Royal Wessex Yeomanry (RWxY), as they prepare for one of their most dynamic weekend exercises in recent years.

Not content with once again getting their hands on the controls of the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank - one of the most sophisticated and complex Armoured Fighting Vehicles in the World - these civilian volunteers, who spend the working week as mechanics, carpenters and accountants, are getting ready to work with the most powerful helicopter in the RAF's fleet during an intense weekend training mission called Exercise Spring Warrior. The unit are teaming up with Regular soldiers from The Royal Tank Regiment and personnel from the RAF to coordinate the delivery of their new Wolf Scout Land Rovers by air with the vehicles under-slung from the giant Chinook aircraft. For many it will be the first time that they will have worked with the RAF in this way. Like all of the training they do, it is about preparing them to do it for real whilst deployed on operations in support of the Regular Army.
