    Reservists and regular soldiers train together in Cyprus

    Exeter Territorial Army reservists are ending a challenging two-week training exercise in Cyprus, alongside regular soldiers.


    Reservists will soon be working more closely together with regulars as the territorial force nearly doubles in size in the next few years.

    The Battlecamp exercise was part of the preparation for that, helping to integrate the two groups and give the TA members, from Six Rifles, valuable experience out in the field.
    The Training Major for the regular soldiers, Ollie Braithwaite from 6th Battalion the Rifles, said he had been extremely impressed with the performance of the Six Rifles reservists during the exercise.
