-: The Regiment is the armed section of the Royal Air Force.
Wherever the planes go, wherever the personnel go,
the Regiment is there to protect them.
We protect airfields and the local area,
the local centers within the airfield.
For an example, we was there in Basra in Iraq.
We'd defend Basra Air Station
and we also did a 200 square kilometer area
all the way around it.
There was about five or six villages
that we looked after.
Gas and oil separation plants as well
that we also helped defend.
It's quite a big varied role.
Within it, obviously you've got
the air base that we defend,
but it's also going in the hearts and the minds
of the local villagers, going to speak
to the elders and just seeing if we can
get information that way,
and just keeping them safe and expect their help
keep us safe as well.
