Another high quality video from BFBS. Whatever the merits of the methods employed, it’s nice to see thinking about different methods. Seems relevant given the current situation.

The Kenyan exercise package in my opinion was always the best. These videos are far better than any of the last 10 year recruitment attempts too. Which were complete gash.

Skills here are the same sort of contact drills that were taught part of the northern Ireland training. Skills that were lost with the newer generation that haven't deployed to the province. Skills that should be taught and practiced in phase 2 training making the British soldier more versatile in fighting. Not just infantry but all aspects of the military in my opinion.

The plateaus around Mt Kenya are at a decent altitude. Running with kit on would have been exhausting. You can see why the unacclimatised reporter was suffering.

Looks like good stuff for the troops and I assume they flogged the crap out of the hire vehicles ( as everyone does)...hope the hire company were planning to swap the cars out, otherwise I would say you might soon be able to pick up a bargain, ex-hire car in Nairobi, just that you might have to drop a new gear box or two into it!

think this is clear evidence of how good the British military really is, that 2 Rifles, a normal (no disrespect) infantry regiment is able to seriously hold their own with Kenyan special forces. Kenyan special forces aren't amateurs either, they've had pretty extensive training by tier one SF units like the SAS/SBS. Even though the UK military is miserably underfunded, the training is still second to none.

Top notch quality but makes me wonder who is gonna oversight what the British are doing in an isolated safari in Kenya.

Hi - thanks for your comment. The British Forces are not isolated in any way. They are based within Kenyan military establishments and when deployed on this kind of exercise they are partnered with Kenyan Army and Special Forces. All training that takes places is under complete agreement with the Kenyan authorities. If you need any more info you will need to contact the MOD.

One of the best and safest places of all africa to see magnificent wildlife and all the big five, id recommend camp safari to anyone, a bucket list in the top five....great name askari storm, askari are a warrior tribe who can actually steal a chunk of meat or haunch from a feeding lion, its a initiation for a young askari coming of age..and no the lion dosnt get injured and it or they dont loose their meal, they get frightened off, then can return when a piece of meat as been cut off..

Not really the correct weapons for a vehicle security detail, THE SA80 was clumsy enough let alone if you had a stoppage while debussing, that was half the problem with the British military, they favoured equipment suppliers regardless of any function issues or quality, and the release of funds was way too drawn out, I mean operations used UK special forces, but our force was limited due to a lack of night vision equipment,... pretty sad , I hope it got better since I tested the first version of the SA80 way back in 1985 that's showing how old that weapon is regardless of a HK revamp, best of luck guys

Hey 👋 Joe here. I did ask the OC about this as I was also curious. He told me the troops receive a mandatory briefing upon arrival in country detailing how to react to those exact situations. Teams are also sent out to clear areas before training takes place to minimise the risk of human/ wildlife conflict and a lot of time is spent picking up spent rounds or ‘brass’ at the end to minimise the footprint. Incidents do however still occur and there is definitely always a risk of walking up on a lion or other dangerous creature. Then I guess you just have to be faster than the slowest man 🏃‍♂️🦁
