Summary[edit]

Description
English: Paratroopers with C Company, 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (3PARA) glide gently to Earth at the dropzone for Exercise Wessex Storm on Salisbury Plain.

The British Army's airborne and armoured reaction forces came together, with the fast and light forces of 16 Air Assault Brigade training with the slower but more powerful troops from 12 Armoured Infantry Brigade.

Exercise WESSEX STORM has seen the airborne infantry of C Company, 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment and the Apache attack helicopters of 4 Regiment Army Air Corps work alongside 1st Battalion Scots Guard, a mechanised infantry unit.

The training on Salisbury Plain places the troops in a scenario where 16 Air Assault Brigade has carried out the theatre entry phase of an operation and is clearing the way for the heavier forces of 12th Armoured Infantry Brigade to take over.
