Half of the Monarchs Guard annual service is on operations and the other is ceremonial. When Coldstream Guards are concerned its the 1st Battalion and No.7 Company which are the two ceremonial as such units for them. Grenadiers its Nijmegan Company (the first of foot they were, but their rivals Coldstream (both being English regiments) is the oldest in the whole army.

There's a common misconception that British people don't care or understand what our military do. Nothing could be further from the truth. Do we take them for granted, yes to a point. But that's because we have high expectations and demands built on past standards. It's been that way for centuries.

I was a police dog handler here in the UK. Things may have changed as a I retired 10 years ago but in general we do not duel train search and patrol dogs. German shepherds and Malinois are generally used for patrol work and other breeds for more specific searching: drugs explosives money etc. Our search dogs are very rarely duel substance trained. i.e. a dog would not be trained for drugs AND explosives. It is very much an either or situation. In answer to your question the military dogs cover military airfields, our civilian airfields are covered the UK Border Force / HM Customs. and the police cover almost everything else. I myself worked German Shepherds for police patrol work and a Labrador for explosive detection.

second that, we had mals for clearing buildings in afghan then IED dogs were always collies and other breeds

[@miathemalinoisgsdx1320]

The reasoning for not using protection breeds for specialised detection work, as explained to me, was that protection breeds are perceived as aggressive and threatening by the general public which cisnt good in public scenarios like airports and train stations where you want people to pass close by without them thinking they are going to get their face bitten off, protection breeds can also be provocative in other situations, taking a malinois into a house or car to do a search is more likely to attract unwanted and possibly threatening attention than cute looking springer or lab.

The "Golf balls" were ballistic early warning radar systems built during the cold war to warn of attacks from the Soviet Union, when the Iron Curtain finally fell they were sadly demolished in 1992, and a more modern station was built.

Hi girls. The first royal guard was a regiment of Cromwell's army that lay down their weapons in front of the returning King Charles II, & then picked them up again in his support becoming the King's Guard. This was on Horse guards Parade, where trooping the colour takes place every year on the monarch's official birthday still. The colour is the flag you see being carried. Each regiment has one & the gold decorations you see on it is an embroidered name of each war battle or action that regiment has taken part in over the years, many commencing in the 17th & 18th centuries. Occasionally new colours are needed, when there is no more room on the flag, they get worn out, units are merged & new regiments created. The colour is trooped through the ranks of soldiers so that they recognise their own & appreciate the history of the Regiment. It is sort of sacred like the Eagles of the Roman legions of ancient days. Great video girls. Thanks for your Respect. Cheers Dan.

They don’t just cover the R.A.F. Airports and are involved in many different types of operation. All the civilian airports in the UK, like the U.S.A. are protected by the police. Hope this has solved the confusion of why Brice Norton was being protected by our forces. Mike. Xx I am ex Royal Navy but my Dad was in the R.A.F and also in the R.A.F Regiment, I spent the first 14 years of my life going to one base or the other due to my Dad being posted all over and was actually born in Singapore in 1962 in R.A.F Changi Hospital, hence why I know A little about the R.A.F.

The police generally use the sniffer dogs at civilian airports, but the RAF use the sniffer dogs at RAF Brize Norton. One of the reasons they have that kind of carousel is because all civilians can fly from RAF Brize Norton to RAF Ascension Island, connecting onto the Falkland Islands.

Just a small fact about the challenger 2 tank, which is due to be replaced by the challenger 3 in the mid 2020's. During the war in Iraq, a Challenger 2 was subjected to over 30 direct hits from hand held anti tank weapons, there were no casualties and the tank was still operational. To date a Challenger tank has never been destroyed by enemy fire and only once by friendly fire, with no casualties recorded. Great video, so nice to see mutual support from across the Atlantic, we are truly better together.

On at least two occasions (I didn't know what was taking off at night) they were scrambled and immediately replaced by another pair.

[@davetherave28]

There's a few things I noticed here.. Haha, yes the tea making story is true- In tanks and vehicles there's a BV (boiling vessel). Tea and Coffee is part of the ration packs (or "MRE"s in the US) given to soldiers to sustain themselves. Culturally, Tea is very important to us Brits but technically it's more than just a drink. It cools you in a hot climate and warms you up in the cold. It's a great mood lifter ! BVs are found in many military vehicles. Water is saved, used for washing, shaving and drinking. That" knife" is a bayonet. It sits sheathed on the belt on what's known as a "frog". On the bit where the soldier hasn't gotten to fire his rifle yet.. It may be the case for that particular segment of his training, but by the time of his attending the ITC *Infantry Training Centre* in Catterick, he will already be very familiar with his personal weapon system. Very early on, prior to trade training, he will have been instructed on how to use a rifle. Each recruit will have passed a Weapons Handling Test and trained on ranges. Safety is paramount, so he will have to have completed these assessments prior to going on exercise. An often overlooked thing is that each soldier, regardless of what "job" they do is trained as an infanteer first. Medics, Engineers, Vets, Drivers- They all pass the same basics of knowing what to do in the field. My friend CT said in her book- "I'm a soldier carrying a medical kit, not a medic carrying a rifle". Any specialisation is something that goes on top of what a soldier already does. Guards, like the Sentinels, are known for their ceremonial roles- but above all, they're trained for warfighting and peacekeeping roles.

The boiling vessel saved the lives of many British tank crews and is considered so essential that a vehicle with a broken boiling vessel is considered unfit for use. the idea is that you don't need to leave your nice armoured box to heat/cook your rations and has the added benefit of leaving you with a pot of boiled water which can be used to make a cup of tea.

It covers the whole of North Europe and is large enough to have the aircraft isolated and away from the Commercial traffic, and where the Special Forces can deal with the situation.

Ex RAF,very proud to see all this on Ur channel, keep up the great work 👍👍👏👏

[@rogerpod1137]

Well done Girls Great chat and Video,,love from the UK X

The baggage checks being carried out were in the terminal building of RAF Brize Norton. Brize Norton is the arrival/departure airport for passenger flights in military transport aircraft and it operates in virtually the same way as a civilian airport passenger terminal. I have used it several times.

[@erikadavis2264]

I live on Salisbury Plain, the tanks/guns have routine firing nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It can get quite noisy and rattle the windows.

[@nickmander6088]

Hey Natasha and Debbie, love all your podcasts, particularly relating to the military, as it’s something I am proud to say, I was there in the nineties and still have the t-shirt. and some of my uniform too. As you know very well by now, there’s many different regiments of the British army, sadly not as many as we did have due to government cuts in defence expenditure. How ever there are regiments that I feel are unsung heroes in battle and when not in battle. The REME, the Royal Signals, The Royal Logistics Corps. All these and others are so incredibly vital within the military machine.

[@richardford7322]

Thanks for sharing this, I would never have seen it without you two! I love dogs too, (better than people!) you don't usually get unconditional love from people.

Every British armoured vehicle has a boiling vessel for making tea and heating rations; it dates back to just after WWII when it was determined that many casualties were caused by crews leaving their vehicles to make tea.

[@stevetheduck1425]

The tea-making station exists, and it's big enough to warm up packaged scran (food), as comes in the standard ration packs. So: on the range popping off at targets, while the BV warms up, then tea and rats at the next stop.

[@melbeasley9762]

Tanks are equipped with a BV, boiling vessel so crews can brew tea. It's a grey, square box looking thing with a tap. Ot came about after the German tank Ace Michael Wittman destroyed a whole column of tanks which had stopped and the crews were brewing up at the side of the road. I think it was 15 tanks destroyed by Wittman's single tiger tank. One night we were in our tank. The loader/radio op. had put a can of rice in the BV and didn't pierce the tin. It blew up blowing the lid off the BV. None of us realised what had happened. I was in the gunners seat which is below the commander, who was standing on his seat looking out of the cupola, a normal position. I was out of the tank, though the same hatch the commander was occupying. After realising the tank wasn't on fire or anything, we got back in and found the entire interior of the turret splattered with rice pudding. The loader, being tired like the rest of us had forgotten he put it in there.

[@HenriHattar]

The UK is your PARENT actually!

[@Mr24687292]

It isn't just tanks that have BV's (boiling vessels) you can get them for loads of military vehicles, so tea is always available.

[@ltj18taylor73]

Excellent video, as usual. Thank you, ladies

[@janetdear6429]

💪 awesome video looking forward to seeing you more time's in December. Thanks Natasha and Debbie 💖😁

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Thanks so much!! ❤️

[@davidharris4062]

You two are stars, 👍👍👍

[@captaincorky237]

Every time I watch your videos I learn something and like you more.

[@shepard911]

Brize Norton is the RAF base that is also used by all military branches to fly out of so it has its own airport. Floppy eared dogs used are compliance dogs for searching. Pointed ear dogs like alsatians are noncompliance dogs for security and attack.

Hi I've just found your site. My dad was in the Royal Signals. My sister and I were born in Catterick, East Yorkshire. I am proud of my dad, he joined the Boys Brigade when he was 15yrs old. He fought the Maumau in Africa in the 50s/60s. He and my mum were married in Egypt when my dad was building the telephone system in the Canal Zone, my mum was in the WRAF as a telephonist where they met and married. When he left the British Army he went to Oman and was in the Omani Army, he retired in 1986 after my mum became ill. Sorry for the long post I meant to say that I'm surprised you haven't seen the US Graves in Cambridge dedicated to the US forces who died on UK/European soil.

[@davehopkin9502]

Brize Norton is an RAF Station thats effectively the Militaries Airport, where troops deploying overseas (and returning) are flown in/out of - so it has the same issues and functions as a civilian airport, hence the drugs dogs.

[@richarddickson747]

The greatist thing that maintains the British army is the centuries of tradition which is why the love keeping the names like Hussars and Dragoons that go back over 300 years. This really means so much to the modern military that they ferociously want to be as good as their ancestors in defending their country and way of life and they will lay down their lives to honour their forefathers. Tradition and honour is all.

I spent a very very small time on detachment at RAF Fylingdales and really enjoyed it

[@mondieable]

Hi Natasha and Debbie, I really enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you're doing

[@michaeldunn9228]

Love your videos.Thanks. These information videos from the forces could be hours and hours long as there are literally hundreds of units in all 3 forces doing thousands of jobs day to day.

[@nigelbrigstock19]

Love you sisters a proud Englishman 🇬🇧

[@leeowen4989]

Although RAF Fylingdales is a British installation, the radar itself is funded by the US and all information is shared between the UK, US and Canada.

[@nickmander6088]

Hi girls, greetings from GB 🇬🇧, every regiment within the British forces thinks their the best, but fact remains every single regiment of the British forces are as important as each other. We may be a small island but we pack a might punch to the enemy in the air, sea and on the land. Hussar 🇬🇧💪

[@trailerman2]

Thanks ladies: a great video !! as an Englishman I have learned :-)

[@donny9885]

They normally have dedicated separate fishery protection vessels patrolling the sea which also look out for smuggling.

[@stuartquinn4464]

Hey my lovely ladies I was a paratrooper before I went into another regiment.. love what you do! All love from Nottingham

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Thank you for your service

[@bornagaingeek7279]

I formally worked in an EOD squadron and I noticed your surprise at bomb disposal from all three services. Each service has a traditional bomb disposal role, but the interoperability has broken down durisdictions. The RAF would handle anything dropped from an aircraft, or still attached. The Navy would handle anything below the waterline or on a vessel. In the army, The Royal engineers will clear conventional weapons like mines and boobytraps. The Royal logistic corps will clear any munitions or terrorist IEDs. The terrorist threat means that everyone now handles IEDs, but the Royal Logistic Corps still takes the the lead and coordinates response.

[@waynehopps5166]

i love you guys so down to earth thank you xxxxx

[@walshpaul4158]

Have you ever watched the QCS. It's part of the RAF regemt. They are amazing their drill is precise and without instructions

[@annpoulton5358]

Excellent video thanks. BTW the Fylingdales radar station is just down the road from one of your favourite places..... Whitby

[@davidwilliams3856]

Thank you ladies.

[@robmullen3871]

There's 5 guards regiments,Coldstream,grenadiers,Scots,Irish and welsh

[@peterbrown1012]

7 Guards, 5 of foot and 2 of Horse all sharing one regimental tie, when I joined The Life Guards in 1971 we all trained together at the Guards depot, Pirbright.

[@bendent4416]

I second the comment about watching the short documentary RAF Quick Reaction Alert. It’s amazing

[@DreadEnder]

The answer to your question, ‘Boiling Reserves’ are tea kettles installed in almost EVERY BRITISH TANK!

[@paganphil100]

Oscar Swinburn: Boiling vessels.

[@wonhung]

What this video didn't look at is the Anti-Submarine SONAR network the protects the British coast. Something I worked on as a civilian Electronics Mech/Engineer back in the '70s, though it's part of the Royal Naval protection plan.
