Army exercise in south west Scotland

The exercise simulates a conflict between fictional area Pastonia and Dragonia. British troops are parachuted in to help restore peace.

The soldiers must make the area safe for a UN peace keeping force to take control. Fortunately this is an imaginary war, this is a training exercise near Stranraer but the lessons learned here will be vital. The Airborne Task Force must be ready to fly anywhere in the world at just 5 days notice.

These troops will spend the next week simulating the kind of international emergency thye may be required to help resolve. Operations in Afghanistan may be winding up, but our troops still have to be in a constant state of readiness. Dragonia may not be a real war, but this training could be vital in preparing our soldiers for the next world conflict wherever it occurs
