3 RIFLES VS SILS - LA SELVA CF On a waterlogged pitch, 3 RIFLES put in another 90 minutes of high quality football despite the loss. POTM went to Rfn Hunter (C Coy) who made some cracking saves against such high level opposition. Well done! 👏📯⚽️

3 RIFLES recently deployed to Kenya on Exercise BULL STORM as Task Force Hannibal playing enemy forces against 3 SCOTS and 1 R ANGLIAN Battlegroups. Getting comfortable with the scorching Kenyan temperatures alongside the challenging terrain is a firm test of any Rifleman.

Deploying on exercise does not just mean hard graft in the field. After Ex BULL STORM, many soldiers had the opportunity to conduct AT in Kenya including white water rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, and hiking Mt Kenya.

3 RIFLES teamed up with @Edinburghdrone and utilised @field_army funding to bring a 3D printer to Kenya on Ex BULL STORM to 3D print FPV drones for use in the field. Learning from lessons in Ukraine, this was a valuable proof of concept and at the forefront of Army innovation.
