Soldiers from around the world have descended on the Welsh Black Mountains for one of the ArmyÕs toughest tests. Exercise Cambrian Patrol is run by 160 (Wales) Brigade and takes place over the next 10 days. This year features 17 international teams from New Zealand, Estonia, India, the USA, among others. The annual event is both physically and mentally demanding and is a highlight in the British ArmyÕs training calendar. Internationally, it is regarded as one of the toughest tests facing the modern-day soldier and some foreign entrants have to claim the right to take part by winning through their own domestic competition. Regular and Reserve soldiers in the British Army will also front up to the challenge, which takes place over seven phases, includes more than 100 teams and nearly 1,000 troops.
