Earlier this week I visited @royalwelshshow to meet Welsh regular and reserve soldiers, cadets, veterans and industry partners, to say thank you and celebrate the relationship between Wales and the Army. This connection really matters, and the show truly epitomises this. Diolch!

In the challenging environment of Wales and #ExCambrianPatrol25, Lance Corporal Buckley stepped up to lead a joint patrol with the Albanian Army after three soldiers withdrew 🇦🇱 🤝 🇬🇧

Cambrian Patrol is all about leadership; the 48 hour slog through the Brecon Beacons is not an easy task with a full team, so finishing the event in these circumstances is a fantastic achievement 👏

Horizontal rain, trench attacks and international teamwork #ExCambrianPatrol25 pushed every limit 🪖

Over 1,000 soldiers battled 40 miles of Welsh mud, mountains & mayhem in @NATO’s toughest patrol test 💪

66 years on, it's still the ultimate test of endurance, skill and camaraderie.

Well done to every team that made it through 👏
