the Mowag training
ff
h the Reserve troops
overseas. Urban
patrolling, and
the need for
APC-Infantry
cooperation
was impressed
upon the troops,
before they
practiced some
of the basic skills
required - practicing around
the interior
of Cathal
Brugha Bks.
Overall the
Mowag impressed the
reserve troops
present, and a
further course
may take place
for other 7 Inf Bn
reserve personnel, to update skills which may be required on future DF exercises.
CQMS Mike Barrett has been a regular contributor to An Cosantóir over the last few years, and uses his
own camera and equipment - Nikon F80 film camera and a Nikon D5000 digital camera. He has captured
the newly designated D Coy, 7th Inf Bn in live action drills. This is a great example to others who are interested in sending in a piece on their respective unit/course/exercise or chosen subject.
