Gurkha Recruit Intake 25 Complete final Training Exercise
Two hundred and seventy-four young men from Nepal have learned this first-hand.
They are the newest recruits to the Brigade of Gurkhas and, and over the past 12 months, have navigated an elite selection process and infantry training programme in Catterick.
In the hills surrounding Sennybridge – that small village synonymous with infantry training in the Brecon Beacons – BFBS Forces News joined the Gurkhas for what is the final exercise of their long journey into the Army.
Across a week, the deployment is scenario-based and involves the platoons’ permanent staff taking on the roles they would in the Field Army.
Section commanders, normally responsible for day-to-day training delivery, now lead their sections as they would on operations.
