Very well written blog. When will you be posting your article on the Reserve SAS’s training? 🙂
Hi Dave,
I’ll get round to it eventually!!!
I was wandering if the sowt ever get in combat?
Hi Jordan,
Simple Answer: Maybe
Longer Answer: SOWT are provided training in SF TTPs as part of their training programme, however, they are not technically ‘combat troops’; i.e. their purpose is not locate and engage the enemy, it is to provide meteorological advice/reports in austere environments. That said, the SF TTP training provides them with the skills and knowledge to work with direct action SF colleagues in order to operate effectively in a tactical situation should the need arise (e.g. team ambushed).
