A soldier rushes through a stream during a training exercise in Kenya.
The 4th Battalion The Rifles (4 RIFLES) were in Kenya undergoing
intensive training to be the British Army's next Spearhead Lead Element -
a rapid response force ready to tackle a world-wide crisis at 24 hours
notice.
This can range from a major domestic terrorist attack to the evacuation of British nationals overseas.
Around 700 personnel left their Wiltshire base and were joined by other
units including artillery and engineers for a five week intensive
exercise at the British Army Training Unit Kenya, otherwise known as
BATUK.
