Assault Tp in a Res unit is a waste. You don‘t have the resourses or trained personal to maintain one. We do have 60mm Mortor x 2 Eryxs x 5. The Assault troop course couldn‘t be cut into parts. Due to the classes. For the Demo, you require a Adv Demo NCO which course is 2 months, Eyrx inst course 2 weeks , mortor course is a week, Adv Mine inst 2 months. Most of these courses are required. You cannot fire a Eryx without one, goto the Demo Range without one. Adv Demo/EOD, Eryx inst, Adv Mortors. I was one of only 4 Armour Crewmen in the Corp to get the Demo/EOD course due to cost and 6-8 with the Eryx inst, you have to fire fire rounds just to get on the course. The RCD don‘t even have a Eryx Inst.now due to postings and cost. The cost for these courses is high. When we went to Somalia ,was when we received the Demo /EOD course since then one one has received it.
You require a whole Adm troop to support it. 2x HLVW for Defencive stores, 2+ for Demo stores, we don‘t even have room in a Bison for all the stores. That is so must stores we have to put kit on the outside.
