HISTORIC SUCCESS FOR REGIMENT’S CORPORALS


Cpl Keith Dellipiani

Two RG soldiers have been awarded top grades on the ‘toughest course in the Army,’ a British Forces spokesman said yesterday. Corporals Keith Dellipiani and Lance Mauro have recently returned from Brecon in Wales where they achieved historic results on the Platoon Sergeants Battle Course.

“We are the first RG soldiers ever to have achieved the ‘Distinction’ grade on this course,” said Lance.

Every ‘Senior Brecon’, as the course is known across the Army, tests over eighty Corporals from all Infantry regiments in the British Army. Of the eighty-two soldiers on the recent course, only seven were awarded ‘Distinctions’ – and two of those were from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment. Indeed, Lance Mauro’s marks were so high that he was also recommended to be an Instructor on Infantry Training Courses.

“This really is the hardest course in the infantry. It is so tough that our soldiers undergo a Queen’s Division course just to prepare them for the course itself,” confirmed Captain Daniel Romero.

The course prepares infantry corporals for promotion to Sergeant. The syllabus covers tactics and administration as well as the more physical aspects of soldiering. And these physical aspects are certainly demanding – the course contains two mile runs, five mile runs and eight mile runs, all of them in full kit and carrying heavy packs and weapons. These physical tests culminate in a 24 physical mile test over Pen Y Fan, the highest Welsh peak south of Snowden.

The two Corporals are already hard at work preparing for their next tasks – Keith will be working with a platoon of Moroccan soldiers on Exercise Jebel Sahara and, similarly, Lance will be training a team of Moroccan soldiers for the British Army’s tough, Exercise Cambrian Patrol.

Also in Brecon, Lance Corporal Marco Galliano was graded in the top third of soldiers on another of the Army’s tough courses, the Section Commanders’ Battle Course.

British troops train in Morocco for current operations

Now in its tenth year, Exercise Jebel Sahara continues to grow in size, scope and importance, offering British troops the chance to train in the kind of harsh conditions that they are facing on current operations.

The exercise takes place in the desert and mountains of Morocco and also offers the British military the opportunity to work alongside their Moroccan counterparts.

This year saw 180 soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and 205 RAF and Army Air Corps troops training alongside 115 members of Morocco`s La Deuxieme Brigade d`Infanterie Parachutiste.

Major Ivor Lopez, the overall exercise controller, said:

"This exercise is unique. The desert, with its high temperatures and rugged terrain, makes for some extremely challenging and utterly realistic conditions.

"We are able to `live fire` our weapons and we are spoiled for choice when it comes to brilliant locations to train in all the different infantry skills needed in today`s counter-insurgency environments."

To add to the realistic conditions, the final part of the exercise required the Gibraltar Regiment`s infantry troops to move forward into a replica Forward Operating Base, modeled on those found in Afghanistan.

The training is centered on Ram Ram camp, a collection of huts situated just to the north of Marrakesh.

As well as having scores of vehicles, the exercise is supported by eight helicopters of the Joint Helicopter Force - five RAF Chinooks and three Lynx helicopters from the Army Air Corps.

The Moroccan authorities make huge areas of countryside available for this military training, ranging from arid deserts to the High Atlas mountains, and so the helicopters are an invaluable means of moving both men and equipment.

The exercise began at the start of October and the first people to arrive in Morocco were the Quartermaster, Captain Stuart Bensadon, and his logistics staff (the `G4 team`), whose task is to provide everything that could possibly be needed to make the exercise a success.

Having crossed the Straits on the once-a-week ferry from Gibraltar to Tangiers, it took nearly 35 hours for the regiment`s 36 vehicles to drive the 300 miles (483km) from the port to Ram Ram camp.

Delays caused by breakdowns and punctures on the drive down from Tangiers meant that the drivers had to spend the night sleeping at the side of the road.

Having finally arrived at the camp, the Quartermaster and his staff needed to construct a tented town, equip it with electricity and sanitation systems and prepare kitchens able to provide over 400 people with water and three cooked meals a day.

At this stage plans were already in place for weapons and ammunition to be flown in, for huge quantities of water to be delivered daily, for communications to be established and for the necessary medical support to be established.
By the time the soldiers, airmen and helicopters arrived, a large patch of red earth and a few huts had been transformed into a small town of tents, all covered by camouflage netting.

Major Lopez said:

"When we got out here to Marrakesh, I actually felt I could relax - even though the exercise hadn`t even begun.
"It`s just getting everything out here that causes all the headaches!"

Captain Bensadon added:

"A simple example is sanitation. There is no sanitation here when we first arrive but, in time for the first day of the exercise, I need to have enough showers and Portaloos for 400 people, both men and women.

"For the infantry troops, the exercise trains them for the real thing - in effect it is a rehearsal. But for my staff, this is the real thing - we don`t just rehearse cooking a thousand meals a day!"

The exercise, now well underway, saw both the British and Moroccan troops learning from each other. For example, soldiers from Gibraltar have been improving many of their own infantry skills but they have also been training their Moroccan counterparts in such specialist skills as sniping.

The quality of the exercise has attracted the attention of senior military officers and there have been visits from, amongst others, Air Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, Chief of Joint Operations; Commodore Adrian Bell, Commander British Forces Gibraltar; and Brigadier Richard Dennis, Director of Infantry.

Brigadier Dennis said:

"This exercise is an opportunity for the Royal Gibraltar Regiment [RG] to hone its skills to the required standard so that it can contribute to current operations.

"The relationships that the RG have built with the Moroccans not only guarantees the continuing success of Jebel Sahara but it also gives the regiment the relevant skills in mentoring other nations` forces - a skill that is much needed on current operations.

"The icing on the cake is having the Joint Helicopter Force [JHF] out here. For them this represents an excellent opportunity to practise their skills in austere areas and it also means that the RG`s exercise can achieve so much more than if it didn`t have access to JHF air assets."

Commander John Watson, the JHF Commander, explained why the exercise is of benefit to his unit:

"Morocco is an ideal location for the JHF`s operational training - both for aircrew and ground crews.

"The excellent relationship that the RG enjoy with the Moroccans has allowed us to adapt and shape the exercise to enable us to gain maximum benefit.

"It has also been the basis for another exercise we now carry out with the Moroccan Air Force."

The success of Exercise Jebel Sahara is also shown in the fact that Lieutenant Colonel John Perez has been appointed to the Order of Wissam Al Istihkak Al Askari (the equivalent of a British knighthood) by His Majesty The King of Morocco.

Lt Col Perez is the first non-Moroccan ever to be presented with this prestigious award.

The citation makes mention of `all the efforts which Lt Col Perez continues to deploy to improve the co-operation between the Moroccan and British forces in general and, in particular, between the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and La Deuxieme Brigade d`Infanterie Parachutiste (2BIP)`.

pas jebel Sahara,mais un exercice a Sennybridge (sud Wales - UK),pendant un mois,le regiment Gibraltar s´entraine la bas dans une range speciale a distance multiples,entre autres pour le Sniping,bref le tout en un training/survival training special dure(dormir en open sous 0°,navigation en cartes,comms radio sur longues distances,tir en live sur cibles pop-up sous embuscades..)

20 membres de la 2°BIP y ont participé avec la RGR

Citation :

"We have brought twenty Moroccan troops with us and that also makes us think about how we work in a multinational environment.

"Soldiers' basic skills are learned here in Sennybridge and then adapted for use in Gibraltar. And everything that will be used later in the year on Exercise Jebel Sahara has been learned here."

fusil d'assault SA80 , casque british et brelage combat anglais

les marocains servent de plastrons , peut être veulent apprendre les techniques des TAP british ( ils sont peut être des instructeurs pour la 2 °)
