2 YORKS Put On Impressive Live-Firing Display Despite Sub-Zero Chill
2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (2 YORKS) have been in action in Northumbria.
The live firing exercise on the Otterburn training area was all part of their new light mechanised infantry role.
It's been a challenging time for the battalion who have had to squeeze two years of training into just five months.
The sub-zero temperatures only added to the testing ranges.
There are two main live firing range areas, at Otterburn and Redesdale, for artillery, demolitions, all infantry weapons and restricted armoured vehicle firing.
