Around 50 soldiers from the 48th Highlanders of Canada and the 48th
Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the United States took part in
'Exercise Highland Spirit', a military training exercise to strengthen
the partnership between the troops and hone their military skills.
Major Richard Barker, 7 SCOTS, said:
"The aim of the exercise was to expose troops to their counterparts
from allied nations in order to give them training experience for
operations and to increase their understanding and awareness of training
procedures."
The exercise took place on the Wyvis Training Area near Evanton in
Easter Ross to test the soldiers' skills on the challenging rough
terrain of the Scottish Highlands.
