Welsh Guards undertake Mission Rehearsal Exercise
1st Battalion Welsh Guards onboard their Foxhound Protected Patrol Vehicles in the snow during a planning phase of a Mission Rehearsal Exercise in Wales.
The exercise is a final opportunity for the soldiers to practice their infantry skills before deployment to Afghanistan.
The Foxhound is at the cutting edge of protected patrol vehicle technology and provides unprecedented levels of blast protection for its size and weight. These patrol vehicles underwent final testing in the dusty and hot conditions of the Helmand desert before being deployed on operations.
Foxhound has been specifically designed and built in Britain to protect against the threats faced by troops in Afghanistan. However, this is an agile and versatile vehicle that will be a mainstay in the Army for years to come.
Being lighter and smaller than other protected vehicles such as Mastiff and Ridgeback, Foxhound brings a whole new capability to the Army and is ideal for soldiers operating in mentoring and partnering roles.
Foxhound has a top speed of 70 mph but can still protect against improvised explosive devices thanks to its v-shaped hull

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards can be seen braving the snowy terrain of Wales during a Mission Rehearsal Exercise. This exercise serves as their final opportunity to hone their infantry skills before embarking on their deployment to Afghanistan. The soldiers are shown onboard their Foxhound Protected Patrol Vehicles, which stand at the forefront of protected patrol vehicle technology. Despite its compact size and weight, the Foxhound offers unparalleled levels of blast protection - a crucial feature for troops facing the dangers of combat zones. Before being deployed in operations, these patrol vehicles underwent rigorous testing in the scorching heat and dusty conditions of Helmand desert. Designed and built in Britain specifically to counteract threats faced by troops in Afghanistan, the Foxhound has proven itself as an agile and versatile asset that will remain indispensable within the Army for years to come. Compared to other protected vehicles like Mastiff and Ridgeback, Foxhound boasts a lighter frame while still maintaining exceptional protective capabilities against improvised explosive devices - thanks to its innovative v-shaped hull design. With a top speed reaching 70 mph, it empowers soldiers operating in mentoring and partnering roles with enhanced mobility without compromising safety. This remarkable photograph encapsulates both determination and readiness as these Welsh Guards prepare themselves for what lies ahead on foreign soil – exemplifying unwavering commitment towards safeguarding peace amidst adversity.
