Combat Shooting 3RAR prepares to deploy S OLDIERS from 3RAR and supporting units practised sidearm weapon handling drills on the range at Mount Stuart Training Area last month. The advanced combat shooting skills training was conducted by School of Infantry instructors, using innovative teaching techniques with the latest shooting range technologies to provide the regular infantry soldiers with a near-real immersive combat environment to develop combat shooting skills. After completing the fi ve-day course, the soldiers will impart their knowledge to their sections before a contingent based on 3RAR and led by CO 3RAR LTCOL Giles Cornelia deploys to Iraq later this year.
