LEOPARD 2 MAIN BATTLE TANK GUNNERY COURSE

This 8-minute mini-documentary features soldiers of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) participating in the Gunnery Course held this winter at CFB Edmonton. You’ll meet two instructors and two candidates who share their experiences, challenges and rewards while doing the intensive course. This video is approved by the LdSH (RC) command team to help educate Canadians on what soldiers do to earn qualifications on armoured training. Video by © GrantCree.ca

Keep your hand in a fist when loading the main armament. People lose fingers when fingers are spread. Follow the round all the way into the breach, and you will never have a misfire.

[@raymtl8892]

Nice to see with all the technology incorporated into training theses days that they are still using the old 'blackboard' shoots to practice gunnery drills and commands!

I like how the troop warrant officer is a sergeant and the troop sergeant is a master corporal 😂

The fire commands sound so much different from the Abram’s

Can't see myself seeing those ladies doing track maintenance. I did it at 18 and I really tested by physical abilities to the max. Retorque of track pads required all my strength and body weight.

Nice vid I was posted to Gagetown in 1998. Too bad we barely have any fully functioning Leo's......

[@Veritas975]

Thanks for your “Politcally Incorrect” comments! Glad you like the vid, it was great to meet and interview those four members (and others) during filming and editing last winter. Agreed about our current state of affairs. Sad, alarming, depressing, upsetting, etc. Mostly sad and not worthy of the gift of freedom that our previous generations sacrificed so much for. But there’s always hope on the horizon and that’s why soldiers train. Perseverance. Ok, end of sermon, and thanks again for watching . By the way, over the years I’ve put together a few other CAF stories posted on my KZbin Channel.

I'd hate to go through all this only to be sent to war and be brewed up by a toy drone.

I wish they would persevere a little more on wearing their berets properly.
