A drill sergeant from Nijmegen Company, Grenadier Guards, shouts out instructions to troops on the parade ground at Wellington Barracks in London.
Learning socially distant drill to the standard required to present to visiting foreign and British dignitaries has been a challenge for the whole company with many of the Guardsmen having only recently passed out of the Infantry Training Centre, Catterick.
The Grenadier Guards non-commissioned officers have worked tirelessly on drill and turnout, instilling a pride in the Guardsmen to ensure they achieve the highest of standards.
Nijmegen Company, Grenadier Guards this week provide Guards of Honour for the visits of General Joseph Aoun, Commander in Chief of the Lebanese Armed Forces and Andriy Taran, Ukraine's Defence Minister. Accompanied by the Band of the Scots Guards, the Guardsmen have spent an intensive period on the drill square to ensure they present a polished, professional performance for their first public ceremonial duties since the start of lockdown.
Bringing a sense of team work into the training, Nijmegen Company spent a day conducting a series of activities and exercises designed to test physical stamina, military skills and coordination. Starting with massed rifle drill, the technical elements of foot drill were introduced then the Band of the Scots Guards arrived and the Company practised marching with the Band; a first for many. Focusing on social distancing added another dimension of precision to the exercises as the troops practised the formation changes.
Throughout the pandemic the soldiers have continued to provide Royal Guards at St James' Palace, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London but these duties have largely been performed behind closed doors. For many of the Guardsmen in Nijmegen Company, this week's two Guards of Honour are the first time they have been on parade in public. © MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

ARMED FORCES PROVIDE COVID TESTS FOR NHS KEY WORKERS
Image of military personnel providing covid-19 testing for key workers at Wembley in London.
Military personnel are providing COVID testing to NHS key workers at sites set up nationwide.
Soldiers from The Grenadier Guards and from The Royal Anglian Regiment have been trained to safely deliver COVID tests as part of government response work, and they are now deployed at a site in Wembley, London.
The site has been set-up in the IKEA carpark in Wembley, and it offers a drive-through facility that can test over 500 NHS personnel a day. Working alongside civilian staff from local authorities, and from Boots and Deloitte, it is a team effort and the military contribution has been welcomed.
Once trained in the process and delivery of safe testing, the Army personnel are uniquely useful in being able to redeploy wherever new sites may be set up. Furthermore, with further training of more soldiers taking place in Barracks, the soldiers are adding skills to the government arsenal used to fight the pandemic.© Crown Copyright / eyevine
