Infantry Officers Put To The Test In The Jungle | Forces TV

For the last three weeks, 65 infantry officers have been on exercise in the Belize jungle. Exercise Grim Warrior is the final part of their Platoon Commanders Battle Course. After a year of training, first at Sandhurst and then at Brecon, the end is in sight, but they can't get complacent.

Very good channel. ,

[@anthonywright6237]

As a British man I'm obviously proud.. can anyone REALLY survive every terrain like us

[@gfield1607]

Does anyone when brand new para officers do P Coy? The new pte’s do it before passing out at catterick but the para officers on the platoon commanders course are training with other cap badges. Just interested.

[@CP-ne5nf]

afaik it'll be after PCBC, Pass and straight to Regiment or fail and they'll go to another cap badge. I'm not a Para nor an officer so I do stand to be corrected though

[@MrOdsplut]

@@CP-ne5nf Some time between RMAS and joining their unit. Can be before or after PCBC. They usually try to time it to get them on January Brecon...

[@rayzor8268]

[@Marcopolo12as]

[@Carrjimbo]

No but Brecon is close enough

[@mcpartridgeboy]

indirectly yes, if your tough enough to survive in the extreme heat your tough enough to survive in the extreme cold, its just about keeping your head when your very very uncomfortable !

[@soultraveller5027]

i thought brunei?

[@bootneckbenners8971]

Lima Charlie We do have a facility there, but Brunei is for advanced personnel mostly.

[@harryburkin2806]

@@John-te4ej from what I've read before, Brunei is mostly special forces, yes. I suppose they could alternate though due the ever changing weather patterns? I wouldn't be able to say for certain though.

[@PaddyInf]

@@John-te4ej UKSF use both Belize and Brunei. Jungle phase of selection used to be in Belize, but I don't know if that is still the case. The Jungle Warfare Instructor Course (JWIC) used to be carried out in Brunei, but again not sure about now.

[@edwardal7980]

@@PaddyInf Yeah, Brunei is JWD, SF, Gurkha Rifles and a few AAC too

Ummmmm ok yea ...right chaps well mmmmmm WOW this is like. crazy yea...

[@jennygore9833]

So walking around crossmaglen or Baghdad trains you for this then

[@nacholibre1962]

What a stupid thing to say. Infantry must be able to fight and win in any terrain and climate, day or or night.

[@anthonywright6237]

Yeah what a docile idiot thing to say

[@danielplummer2332]

3:06 is that allowed Facial hair that is.

[@t1._277]

Daniel Plummer yes cause in the jungle they don’t have to shave. If they cut themselves whilst shaving they can pick up an infection

[@PaddyInf]

The students have to shave. The guy talking was an instructor. He should be shaving too really, to set an example.

[@PaddyInf]

@Yorkshire Irishman Students on PCBC are supposed to shave. I know - I instructed on the course. Shaving in the J isn't the big deal it's made out to be. I've been a few times and never saw anyone get an infection from it. You are constantly getting cuts and scrapes all over you when patrolling, so a little scratch on your face makes no difference.

[@JammyDodger45]

Outside of training courses no real soldiers shave daily in the field. The whole 'don't risk a cut in the J' is a made up tale, on my Jungle Warfare Instructors Course it was simply put that a bit of face fuzz aids Cam Cream staying on your face in the hot humid climate. After all if you need to shave and want to avoid cuts just use an electric razor!
