This week’s training news
Battle areas reopen
The armed forces have
resumed routine military training at 21 specially selected areas across the UK
after closing sites to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease. All
military training areas have been closed since 23 February, with only essential
coaching continuing during this time. The decision to resume training came
after discussion between MAFF/SERAD and local farmers. The reopened sites are
not located in infected areas and are not grazed. www.mod.uk
