In May, a company of soldiers from the 2nd Battalion The Royal Yorkshire Regiment will be embedded into the 1 Royal Irish battlegroup during exercise WESSEX STORM on Salisbury Plain Training Area. 

The aim will be to the test new capabilities and recently developed tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs) developed by 2 YORKS as the Army’s Future Soldier, Next Generation Combat Team, against an opposition force from 3 PARA. 

During this exercise, the future combat workforce structure will be tested. 2 YORKS, through DSTL has developed a new concept, called the Phalanx Company. 

This is two large platoons of 38, a Manoeuvre Support Group of 38 and a CSS Group of between 12-24 soldiers. All the groupings have been enhanced with Uncrewed Aerial Systems, Uncrewed Ground Systems, and sensors.

The Platoons will have the latest generation night capability and sighting systems and they will be using the latest communication systems to enable the Enhance Dismounted Situational Awareness System aimed at improving Command and Control at Company level.
