Our soldiers worked side by side with the Royal Irish Regiment and our Omani counterparts, who shared their wealth of experience living and operating in the rugged desert environment. The tactical phase of Ex KHANJAR OMAN saw troops exercise across land, sea and air, with support from the Army Air Corps. Following the culmination of the tactical phase of Ex KHANJAR OMAN, a troop from B Squadron travelled by land and sea to the peninsula of Musandam to partner with the Musandam Security Force on Exercise Musandam Fort 2021. The exercise included an integration phase which saw the delivery of capability briefs from both forces, orders for the tactical action that would follow as well as some enjoyable PT. A 48 hour tactical exercise was then conducted, with the two forces working together with the SCOTS DG Tp conducting the reconnaissance to find enemy dispositions, which were then handed over to the infantry company to execute. The exercise wound up with a deliberate final attack, with SCOTS DG providing fire support whilst the MSF conducted the attack.
A productive and beneficial training exercise, we hope to be back soon!
