Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Household Division on the Onion Range MOD 45163588.jpg |
English: Pictured is a soldier from The Household Division firing a Sharpshooter Rifle during a live fire exercise. The soldiers were training thousands of miles from home on the infamous Onion Ranges in the Falklands.
The Onion Range is a vast swathe of land which is used for training by the Army and located on a remote part of East Falkland island. Onion Range is regarded as one of the best live firing ranges used by the British Army. It is large enough to allow a platoon of soldiers (around 30 men) to conduct mock attacks using automatic fire, grenades and anti-tank missiles. One of the toughest field exercises is the live firing that takes place at the top of Onion Range; named because the journey up there alone is enough to make your eyes water. The soldiers set up camp on the exposed hillside, often for several weeks at a time, and the training takes place in a simulated live fire battlefield environment.
