Ex Mechanical Endeavour

This weekend, four Southampton OCdts headed to MOD Lyneham to take on Ex Mechanical Endeavour alongside other UOTCs.

From command tasks to engineering challenges and assault courses, they got hands-on with the skills that keep the Army moving — all while learning directly from REME soldiers and officers.

A great opportunity to test themselves, build new skills, and get a closer look at life in the Corps.

This past week, two OCdts from Alamein and Burma Companies successfully completed the All Arms Physical Training Instructor (AAPTI) course in Aldershot, showcasing their growing expertise in physical training and leadership. The course involved intensive training on fitness instruction, leadership, and physical conditioning, challenging the OCdts to refine their skills in motivating and managing others during physical training sessions.
The experience has significantly prepared them for the next stage of their training, Annual Deployment Exercise (ADX).

🎉OCdt Highlight 🎉

JUO Gibb has been representing Southampton UOTC at the Army Taekwondo Championships, competing against personnel of all ranks and regiments from across the Army in patterns, sparring and destruction.

Across three consecutive championships, she has delivered outstanding results. In her first year, competing as a red belt, she secured three gold medals. In her second year, stepping up to the black belt category, she won gold in female patterns and silver in female lightweight sparring. In her final year, she achieved bronze in mixed patterns and bronze in heavyweight sparring (merged).

She is now aiming to represent the Army at the Inter-Services on 18th July and has also been selected to travel to Canada in June for the World Championships with the Army!

Burma Company Weekend 5!

This weekend, Burma Company took control of a village to sharpen their urban operations skills. Ocdts practised building clearance drills, learned how to operate around civilians, and put their training into action with a final coordinated attack through three houses.

The exercise challenged our OCdts to adapt their thinking and recognise the unique demands of operating in an urban environment.

Meanwhile, the Leadership Development Wing planned and directed the exercise from their own operations room. From Company Sergeant Major to Intelligence Officer, LDW OCdts took on key appointments and worked together to ensure the success of the final attack.

Last weekend, Alamein Company officer cadets got hands-on learning how to handle the SA80 A2. Working in small groups with one of our skilled arms instructors, they were taught how to dismantle and reassemble the weapon system, prepare it for daily cleaning, and carry out immediate action drills.

Once confident with the fundamentals, they put their new skills into practice on the Dismounted Close Combat Trainer range, taking part in group exercises that added a healthy element of competition.

They are now fully prepared for their first weekend in the field and are looking forward to putting their training into action.
