Exercise Cambrian Patrol has been held at Sennybridge Training Area camp in Wales. Organised and run by 160th (Welsh) Brigade, based in Brecon, it has been held annually since 1959 and is respected by military partners around the world as NATO’s toughest patrolling test.
A mix of Regular, Reserve and University Training Officer Corps teams took part, plus nearly 20 patrols representing international armies from as far away as New Zealand.

Congratulations to the Irish Defence Forces Team from the 27th Inf Bn who won Gold at the Cambrian Patrol Ex.

Over two months of solid training, early mornings, late nights, multiple training scenarios and hundreds of kilometers tabbed. The result...
Gold at the Cambrian Patrol Exercise.
