Training Weeks 36-42

This period represents the final phase of military training and education, and the final inter-company sporting competitions.

Personal and Team Development training concludes.

A Shooting Camp confirms Junior Soldiers’ Skill at Arms.

A final exercise in the field - seven days and six nights - sees the consolidation and confirmation of all Military Skills learned by the Junior Soldiers.  

 

 

On successful completion of the course, Junior Soldiers will begin their Phase 2 training, at an establishment in a different location. There they will build on their Phase 1 experience, and begin to specialise.

With the skills learned at Phase 2 Training and pre-operational Field Army training, they will be ready to deploy on first operational tours.

In just over a year a young person can develop from inexperienced school leaver to confident and professional soldier.
