Army Foundation College (Harrogate)

As part of CMS(R), I completed my Skill At Arms certification for Military Weapons Handling. This involved demonstrating competence at maintenance, and consistent sub-60 mm group size at 200 m, on a range.

Additionally, I was evaluated on how to operate under CS (riot) gas exposure, as part of my chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear decontamination drills.

I also studied combat first aid, and I practised multiple week-long woodland position assault and defence courses, during which I directed stretcher barers for a real casualty in a combat-simulation environment, at night. To enable this, I was certified to prevent and treat heat illness and cold injury.

This provided NSV clearance, from UKSV.
