Danger Zone 2: Urban

Urban What different risks would you find on the street?

  • Tall buildings cause a limited line of sight when in combat
  • High populations create a risk of civilian casualties
  • Buildings provide plenty of cover, and plenty of opportunity for an enemy ambush
  • Close combat conditions – making gunfights extremely intense

How does the Regiment – the RAF’s Force Protection in warzones – train to handle these threats?

  • RAF Regiment Gunners are experts in urban warfare, trained in:
    - How to patrol in built-up areas
    - How to spot hidden dangers like enemy ambush positions
    - How to clear rooms and secure areas quickly and safely, with minimal casualties
