7 Regt conducts community work in Kenya

By | 7th November 2019

7 Regiment is taking full advantage of its deployment to Kenya by engaging in community work to rebuild a bedroom in an orphanage and repair cooking facilities in a school.

During the preparatory phases of Ex ASKARI STORM, many members of the CSS Gp have also taken the opportunity to explore the country and its incredible wildlife with trips to the Maasai Mara Nature Reserve, the Black Rhino Lodge Nature Reserve and Mount Kenya.

The promotion of four deployed Ptes has brought welcome celebration to the CSS Gp. In addition, the Commanding Officer, Lt Col Edwards, has flew out to Kenya to visit the CSS group and to award Commanding Officer’s Coins to SSgt Webb (SQMS) and LCpl Noble (LAD) to recognise excellent efforts made to deploy in in such good order.

Now in its third week of deployment and with all the preparatory work completed, the Regt’s troops are looking forward to moving on to the exercise phases.

Congratulations and well done to Major Jacquie Barlow, an OC within ITC Catterick, who has successfully completed her attempt to run 61 half marathons back-to-back over 61 days. Major Barlow took on this gruelling challenge with the aim of raising £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support after both she and her family received help from the charity when she had a tumour in 2011. She also raised money for a local school. Macmillan Cancer Support provides vital physical, financial and emotional support to cancer patients and their families at a time where the NHS is stretched. Please help to support Major Barlow and Macmillan by donating to her Just Giving page here: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Jacquie-davies3 #WeAreTheRLC ... See MoreSee Less

‘STRIKE’ is a new concept in the British Army and with it, 1 Regiment RLC has faced a new challenge - how to remain agile and mobile, yet maintain C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence) with a reduced logistical footprint. 1 Regiment RLC has met this test turning to innovation with the aim of being constantly mobile yet able to maintain several lines of communication over vast distances. One possible solution is the MECC from Weatherhaven - a custom off the shelf (COTS) capability that will enhance the ‘just in time’ logistics on the modern battlefield. For more information about this potential capability, please contact Captain Alan Mcallister, RSO 1 Regiment RLC: Alan.Mcallister364@mod.gov.uk ... See MoreSee Less
