Pictures: Neville trott, Government Information Services NIGHT DEFENCE -- A Bermuda Regiment soldier puts night camouflage on another during the rigorous training exercises at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina in the annual two-week overseas camp. During the first week the soldiers had a varied programme which included extensive firing on the ranges, wood clearing and tactical manoeuvring rehearsals, along with an assault course and march and shoot competition. The group was split into two camps with victory going to the force that best applied its training and military experiences. The Regiment returns home on April 8.

READY FOR BATTLE -- Members of the Bermuda Regiment are undergoing an extensive and varied two-week training course at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Shown, an unidentified Regiment member in mask prepares to do battle.

REGIMENTAL RATIONS -- A short break for rations is taken on the assault course by Security Services coordinator Barry Smith and Lt. Col. Alan Rance (left) and Commander Anthony Steiner of HMS Malabar and Honorary Lt. Col. Michael Darling. Exercises finish today for the more than 300 soldiers currently participating in the camp.

FIRING SQUAD -- Bermuda Regiment members (from left) Company Sergeant Major Terry Fray of `A' Company, Private Tamera Smith and Major Patrick Outerbridge, commanding officer of `A' Company. The Regiment was divided into two forces to do battle against each other using MILES equipment -- high tech, electronic equipment attached to rifles that when accurately aimed and fired triggers sensors carried by each soldier.

BATTLEGROUND -- Premier the Hon. Sir John Swan and second lieutenant Brennan of the first battalion of the Royal Anglian Army observe the battlefield at the Camp Lejeune training ground. Each soldier is outfitted with sensors on their clothing and helmet. When hit, an internal alarm indicates the soldier has been "killed''. This signal is only turned off after the soldier disarms his rifle and disconects the alarm, removing himself from battle.
