Training
As a cavalry unit, troopers get extensive training on infantry weapons as well as heavy mounted armaments. In addition the unit operates a variety of vehicles including motorbikes, 4x4 Landrovers, trucks and armoured cars. Troopers are put through a rigorous training course involving basic infantry weapons and other military skills. Troopers eventually progress from motorbikes and 4x4s through to heavy truck and armoured car driving.

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
