Soldier – August 2019

Blistering

issue

AS MANY of you

enjoy some time

off in the sun this

month, we take an

in-depth look at the

training on offer

at the Defence Chemical, Biological,

Radiological and Nuclear Centre in

Winterbourne Gunner (page 42).

Royal Air Force instructors there

are being replaced by Army ones.

And given the recent resurgence of

chemical weapons – on home soil and

further afield in Syria – it makes sense

for UK soldiers to be upping their skills

and drills.

Also this month, we check out the

latest training for anti-tank ops (page

32) and overseas crises (page 37).

And don’t miss all the latest Service

sport, from Inter-Corps Twenty

triumphs (page 77) to athletics (page

72) and windsurfing (page 80).

If you are getting any downtime this

month, I hope you enjoy your leave.

And don’t forget to check out our

Need to Know section – which takes

a distinctly summer flavour in this

issue, with wisdom on everything from

barbecuing to STIs and sorting the

right travel insurance (page 24).

Enjoy the issue.
