12 ARMYEXERCISE
Soldiers from 5 Movements Company helped train and assist members of 161 BTY over two days during Exercise Steel Talon, rigging the 105mm gun so it could be flown by No. 3 Sqn from one location to another.
EXERCISE STEEL TALON
The first day of the exercise consisted of theory, learning about the different equipment used and the reason behind in-flight stability before becoming hands-on and conducting training in rigging. Once 161 BTY and 5 Movements Company personnel arrived at the Landing Zone, 5 Mov Pers were put into a safety staff role overseeing 161 BTY members as they rigged the two guns. When the rigging was complete the movers conducted a final check before No. 3 Sqn began the lift and the movers conducted the hook-on procedure.
