@1UKDivision SASC are currently deployed on a Short Term Training Training to Gambia. 

Preparing Host Nation Forces is an essential part of Defence Engagement, and no more so than to these Gambian Forces deploying on UN Operations.

[Small Arms School Corps @SASC_1853]

Great to see. Live Firing Tactical Training is only restricted by the experience and ingenuity of the planners. A perfect example here of LFTT being used effectively to prepare for Mission Specific Training.

General Purpose Machine Gun Thursday!

One of boys sent me this, they love their job!

@alfiesteele1977 @ATR_Winchester @HqItg @SASC_1853 Well done, a great achievement and well deserved.

[British Army Combat Shooting Team (BACST) @_BACST]

@BAESystemsLand Thank you for all your support and hope it can continue after these strange times. 🎯

[British Army Combat Shooting Team (BACST) @_BACST]

Thank you to @challengecoinuk for producing these for the team. And of course @BAESystemsLand for their enduring support.
These will hopefully be making their way to compete in the Brunei Skill at Arms Meet later in the year (🤞🏻)

In 1941 a small country defied evil and entered the war on Britain’s side - suffering almost the combined total of UK, US and French casualties of WW2. On #VEDay75 we are proud to support them in their fight against COVID-19. Shoulder to shoulder. @DefenceHQ @mo_i_vs @UKaid

@11XCdtShooting @SASC_1853 @SASC_CorpsSM Not much other than complying with government advice and only travelling to work if essential and staying at home. All shooting is on hold, unless you have dry fire accessories like the DCCT.
