In Pictures: Fighting in urban areas with 7 SCOTS

Army Reservists from the 7th Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland (7 SCOTS) deployed to South West Scotland to learn one of the most difficult roles in infantry combat, that of fighting in an urban area.

This is known as Operations in a Built-up Area (OBUA). The tough but rewarding course provides attendees with the skills needed to survive in such a complex environment.

With its headquarters in Perth, 7 SCOTS is one of two reserve infantry battalions in Scotland and in recent years members of the Battalion have deployed with their Regular Army colleagues to Operations and Exercises across the world.
