main idea is to showcase the Army’s capability and how we work on the ground and the equipment we use.”
The village’s narrow streets and alleys provided invaluable training for the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and gave today’s soldiers an insight into the challenges of conflict.
Major Brown also spoke about how the Army is reacting to the changing face of warfare. He added: “The Army is absolutely preparing for all those fields.
“We are operating in an era of constant competition, be that on the battlefield, as we have seen here today, or in cyberspace.”
He also spoke about how Copehill Down gave soldiers an invaluable insight into urban warfare.
He said: “In any battlefield we need to identify friendly forces from enemy forces and the difficulty can be that the enemy won’t always wear a uniform.
“The Army now employs actors to allow us to train as close to the real thing as possible.”
TECH billionaire Elon Musk will go on trial in December for calling a British diver a “pedo guy” and “child rapist”.
Vernon Unsworth helped to save a group of young footballers from a flooded cave in Thailand last year but became embroiled in an online row with the Tesla boss.
Following the dramatic rescue, he poked fun at Musk’s offer to get the children out with his minisubmarine.
In response, the billionaire labelled the diver “pedo guy” and alleged in an email that he was a “child rapist”.
Mr Unsworth subsequently filed a lawsuit against Musk seeking damages for defamation. Musk’s lawyers deny he was making allegations about the diver and claimed that “pedo guy” is a common insult in South Africa, where he grew up.
But a Los Angeles judge has ruled that a jury will decide whether Musk’s statements amount to defamation.
