British soldiers as they interact with thier Omani counterparts
Image Shows British soldiers as they interact with thier Omani counterparts prior to an attack. Exercise Desert Khanjar is the British Army’s foremost annual training and defence engagement event to take place across the Gulf region, involving up to 1,000 British and 100 Omani soldiers. It involves two annual four-month deployments to the British military’s Land Regional Hub in Duqm, Oman for unit training, exercises with partners and to provide a forward-based force capable of building regional security capabilities and responding to threats where they arise. Exercise Khanjar Oman is the first training exercise of the most recent 4-month deployment, taking place between 3-14 February. It is a combined UK-led exercise operating alongside the Royal Army of Oman on the Ras Madrakah joint training area, and sees troops build up to a mock assault on an enemy urban area on 13 February. It tests troops’ ability to train and operate in arduous terrain, including desert plains, complex wadi system and mountains, and is an opportunity to perfect key soldiering skills, including soldiering in austere environments, working with partner forces and learning battle-winning tactics to protect the British public from future threats. More than half the soldiers participating in the exercise are drawn from 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, with smaller numbers also deployed with Royal Logistics Corps, Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, Scots Dragoon Guards, 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, CSF and 4th Light Brigade Combat Team, which is delivering the first series of the Desert Khanjar exercises and building towards Exercise Saif Sareea 4 in 2028.
