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.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“The sum and substance of female education in America, as in England, is training women to consider marriage as the sole object in life, and to pretend that they do not think so.”
—Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)
“I am not a suffragist, nor do I believe in “careers” for women, especially a “career” in factory and mill where most working women have their “careers.” A great responsibility rests upon woman—the training of children. This is her most beautiful task.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
