Annual Training Event (ATE) 05-20 Sep 14.
This year’s ATE is focussed on helping Scottish community and charity based construction tasks across Scotlandwith some self help military work. The Regiment will be based in the historic Cameron Barracks Inverness. We will be constructing 5 major projects. A permanent footbridge with associated track and culvert upgrades near Loch Ness for the World Orienteering Championships of 2015. A substantial elevated visitor walkway, viewing platform and new polar bear pond at the Kingussie HighlandWildlife Park. Refurbishing the Outdoor Adventure Training Lodge at Rothiemurcus in the Cairngorms. Constructing two carparks at Gareloch Head Training Camp and converting the main garage atBarnsford Bridge into an indoor Artisan Training Facility. We will also be hosting 50 US National Guardsmen from South Dakota in the USA. On top of all this there will be opportunities for Adventurous Training, at least two social events and an inter squadron sports day! Two weeks of full pay training, development and excitement. Remember the ATE is the major part of your Annual Bounty Qualification. You must complete two solid weeks of ATE training. If you have not attended Ex GOLDEN COYOTE or conducted a two week course this training year then you must attend ATE in order to be Bounty Qualified. It is not too late to apply for attendance. Speak to your Troop Commander, QMSI or PSAO and get your name down. Remember to inform your employer and PARTNER! If you have already undertaken a 2 week course/exercise you can still attend this as well.
Hopefully this will be a sunny two week deployment making a valuable contribution to our natural heritage, world sporting event and our own regimental training facilities. Sign on for ATE 14 NOW.
