More than 100 miles east of Calgary, in the middle of the Canadian
Prairie, you will find British Army Training Unit Suffield, BATUS, the
Army's premier armored and mechanized training establishment.

For
24 days at a time soldiers live and train on the prairie. Initially
working with live ammunition, it is during phase two of the exercise
that BATUS truly comes into its own. Specializing in force on force
training, bullets are replaced by lasers and units get the opportunity
to fight a real thinking enemy. Read the full story at http://www.army.mod.uk
