It was published this morning by Mercopress . The pro-British media reports that “A section of the Permanent Rotational Infantry Company, RIC, (Roulement) of the British forces stationed at the MPC complex in the Malvina Islands were joint manoeuvres with the Royal Navy patrol based in the Malvinas and operating within the South Atlantic.”

This was Section 2 of the Gurkha Rifles in an exercise called “Marinisation,” alongside members of HMS Forth, including “On-the-Go Actions,” for example in the event of a fire or flooding on board, which required donning diving equipment and other tasks to be able to operate safely on board the ship.

It was also an opportunity for both infantry and marines to interact, learn about the services, and get to know each other. At the same time, they could experiment and improve their operations when, as in this case, they were in a joint exercise.

Exercise Marinisation also allowed 2 Section Royal Gurkha Rifles to work side by side with sailors from HMS Forth, on joint patrols around the Islands and even amphibious landings.

The same Section 2 of Gurkhas at the end of January also carried out manoeuvres on the islands in different terrains and environments, and as a test for the new non-commissioned officers in combat situations; Mercopress describes
