Belton Estate was vital for preparing the Armed Forces fighting skills. Two Units, in particular, were: the Machine Gun Corp (MGC) and the RAF Regiment.
Unlike the wilderness of Dartmoor or Catterick, Belton had its own challenges. Soldiers trained for a war and adapted for current operations. Combat skill proficiency and expertise can make the difference between winning and losing. Being the best was essential.
