 The reason why it's important for LAR scouts to come out to different countries as New Zealand and train with the New Zealand Defense Force is The obstacles and the different types of terrain that we face. It's good training to be able to put yourself in their shoes and See what they go through every day I'm Corporal Clayton Spence. I'm a squad leader 0331 with first-light armor reconnaissance battalion We are currently training in Waodoo, New Zealand hosted by Queen Alexandra's mounted rifles The main difference between QAMR and first-light armor reconnaissance is firepower and that we were a lot more conservative with their supply Rather, we use as much as we can The best part of training has been being able to show what scouts bring to the table while being dismounted Working with the New Zealand Defense Force LAVs and the different tactics that we can bring An obstacle that we've been facing is the weather whether it be raining and having to change our gear from one second to another And then it'd be cold and then it'd be warm. We're always constantly changing and overcoming and adapting whatever happens Working with the New Zealand Defense Force has been a eye-opening experience Not only to see how they work, but how our allies work as a whole Seeing how another conventional fighting force Attacks another objective and how we would do it
