Since November last year, several Royal Gibraltar Regiment soldiers have completed the  Summer Mountain Foundation (SMF), the Nordic Ski Foundation 1 (NF1), and the Ski  Foundation 1 (SF1) courses which are spread across the European continent, meaning the  soldiers completed them in locations such as Norway, Bavaria and Northern Ireland.

A statement from British Forces Gibraltar follows below:

Adventurous training is one of the amazing benefits to soldiers serving in the Royal Gibraltar  Regiment and is designed to take soldiers outside of their comfort zone and push them to  their limits.  

The courses available offer some amazing experiences and travel opportunities, but they  also provide the soldiers with a vast amount of knowledge and skills that can be transferred  back to their everyday job roles, which in turn helps to develop the soldiers and increase the  operational effectiveness of the unit.  

Soldiers are offered a variety of courses to apply for, ranging from offshore sailing, sub aqua  diving, and kayaking to parachuting and paragliding.

Adventurous Training is on duty military training and makes a vital contribution to Leadership  Development and Personal Resilience training in the Army. Taking part in these courses allows the soldiers to broaden their horizons and look at becoming fully qualified instructors.
