Today our news team travelled to Mountain Pine Ridge to witness the camp of the Volunteer Battallions. They are the BDF reserves, made up of many retired military men but there are also a great number of men and women from diverse backgrounds including teachers and military hopefuls. This year the squad is increasing their numbers by 127 as recruit intake 37 takes on the final days of a two week battle training course held every year. Our team arrived late this evening and so we will have the full story for you tomorrow. But here is a summary of a brief ceremony that saw 78 volunteers who, after serving for four years, qualified for an incentive that keeps the numbers of the battalion healthy.
We'll have the full story for you in tomorrow's newscast.
