As a light cavalry regiment @SCOTS_DG soldiers spend a lot of their time dismounted and so practicing marksmanship in the dismounted role is vital. A Sqn have recently conducted dismounted Live Fire Tactical Training with @RAnglians in Oman #Soldier #britisharmy #livefiring – at East, England

A Sqn @SCOTS_DG recently finished a two week exercise in Oman where it provided an opposition force for @RAnglians. The exercise was also a great opportunity for the Squadron to test its own capabilities in a desert environment #oman #exercise #scotsdg #desert #britisharmy #army – at Merley, England

Gunners in the @SCOTS_DG play a crucial role not only in providing security but also in gathering intelligence in the area of operations. They make the best use of the elevated vantage point to do so. #scotscav #scotsdg #lightcav #army #soldier #britisharmy
