Pakistan Army Contingent stood first in internationally recognized military exercise

750 soldiers from across the world have descended on the Brecon Beacons in Wales to suffer through one of the toughest exercises ever devised. The Cambrian patrol takes two days to complete and tests the soldiering skills of the teams as they cross some of the most arduous terrain you can imagine. And as Toby Sadler reports this year's event has attracted entries from as far a field as Australia and Pakistan.

The competition consists of teams of 8 men carrying up to 55 kilos each across some of the most unforgiving terrain. There have been account of teams trudging through bog land up to their waist for 4 hours only to cover 1.5 km. It's a test of leadership, self discipline, courage and determination. The exercise usually starts with teams arriving at a Rendezvous before having their equipment checked to make sure they have everything required. Missing equipment will be replaced by dead weight and will mean points will be deducted. From there the team leader will be taken to orders while the rest of the team set up a quick hide, start their battle prep and prepare to receive orders i.e. prepare a model of the ground which will be covered during the patrol.
