Royal Air Force reservists have been in remote Norway being put through a
strenuous week of extreme cold weather survival training and cross-country
skiing by Norwegian forces.
Nearly 50 reservists from 17 squadrons across the UK trained as part of
Exercise Wintermarch from 12 to 18 March.
The main focus of the week was learning how to travel effectively through the
harsh winter landscape by cross-country skiing. Personnel are also learning
skills such as avalanche survival, crevasse rescue, first aid and basic mountain
safety.
