The creation and development of a new Army training facility in Dundee saw Reservists from the 7th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland (7 SCOTS) train in using simulated ammunition. The new facility, located in Oliver Barracks in Dundee, allows urban operations training. It was constructed and designed for the use of simulation to create a realistic environment for soldiers to enhance their infantry skills in advance of deployments in the UK and overseas. 7 SCOTS, although a light role (Reserve) battalion based in Perth are commanded by 19th Light Brigade who form part of 1st (United Kingdom) Division. Training at weekends highlights the immense level of discipline and commitment by reservists within 7 SCOTS; juggling their civilian routine and employment to participate – gaining and enhancing transferable employable skills. Reservists bring specialist civilian capabilities that are essential both on and off the battlefield, while gaining transferable qualifications by training with the Army. The roles and tasks demanded of the Army Reserve continue to evolve, with more opportunities to enjoy the challenges that come with being a Reservist both in the UK and worldwide.
