C Company, 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment were on Exercise Yellow Assault, which focused on the troops' core infantry skills and manoeuvre abilities.

The training refreshed and reinforced the Regiment's ability to work together as a group to assault objectives.

The exercise was comprehensive, starting from individual movement on a firing range to attacks as an eight-man section, then bringing sections together to attack as a platoon.
