| Entry | 6 Inf Brigade gp Exercise - "Gymnast". Combined operations exercise , which included the landing of all troops as per landing tables based on number of craft available, and the advance through enemy territory in order to capture an Aerodrome. The lessons learnt were that (a) the planning of the actual landing must be done with meticulous care, and having landed it is necessary to push on to the objectives as rapidly as possible. As many Commanders were made casualties by the umpires in the early stages, 2 i/c: had the experience of commanding their units. A special 48 hour ration carried by each man was tried out on this exercise and proved to be ample. Reference to Appendices: Appendix No's 8, 9, 10, and 11 |
