Description
English: A member of Rourke’s Drift Company of 2 Royal Welsh Battle Group mans a Light Machine Gun during a company attack as part of the TES training on Ex Prairie Storm 1 in the BATUS Training Area, Alberta Canada.

Developed from the Minimi Light Machine Gun following experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, the LMG is a belt-fed suppression weapon. It provides the section commander with the capability to impose sustained suppressive fire on to an objective out to 300m and increases the overall firepower available to the section commander.

The LMG complements the Light Support Weapon and enhances the effectiveness of all section weapons across the spectrum of infantry operations.
