125th Inf Bn Mission Readiness Exercise
In advance of their deployment to South Lebanon next month, the 125 Infantry Battalion have successfully conducted their Mission Readiness Exercise (MRE) in the Glen of Imaal. These two weeks are the culmination of 3 months of intensive preparation ahead of their deployment and they have practiced and honed a broad range of skills for their role including armoured force protection, patrolling and mobility, surveillance, communications, medical and operational expertise.
The troops of the 125 Inf Bn are being put through their paces in a variety of realistic exercises. The Mission Readiness Exercise puts commanders and soldiers through a demanding series of scenarios based on the current situation in Lebanon and potential threats that may be encountered in the volatile mission area. In the last number of days the troops have faced a series of scenarios involving simulated explosive strikes, air mobile helicopter drills, anti ambush tactics, detailed operational planning and medical evacuation exercises.
