The last large scale British Army exercise has taken place in Belize. On Wednesday it was announced that the British Army training facility there, known as BATSUB, will be drawn down next year. Belize has been the home of the Army's jungle training for the last 16 years, but the Platoon Commanders Course will be the last big exercise for the foreseeable future. British Forces News reporter Charlotte Cross has had exclusive access to the troops on the final exercise. For more reports like this visit our website www.bfbs.com/news
The British Army Training Support Unit Belize (BATSUB) has been a hub for jungle warfare training for decades, but in 2011 it was scaled right down. Just six personnel are based in the country now, but demand for training has recently started to increase, with members of 2nd Battalion, the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment one of the most recent units to go there on exercise. It is seen as one of the toughest places in which to train, and soldiers from the regiment have been spending a month living under the canopy adapting their tactics, live firing and learning survival skills. Forces TV's Carla Prater followed the battalion on exercise to see the training opportunities on offer.

I spent the last 5 days in Belize learning about the culture, eating great food, and experiencing world class fishing. This should be a bucket list item for everyone. If you have any questions regarding Belize travel then feel free to message me. Belize is such an incredible place that I feel gets overlooked. From the great food, phenomenal reef diving, and world class fishing, Belize is my new favorite vacation spot.
From the Dominican Republic, I fly to Belize City, the often overlooked capital of Belize. I stay at the Radisson Fort George Hotel and then have a wander around the central core of the city, enjoying the laid back Caribbean feel. The next morning, I take a tour of other parts of the city with a guide, including the cathedrals and Belize Museum.
The real deal on travel http://www.overlander.tv I make a short video in Belize City about why I believe it is worth seeing when one visits Belize. It represents a country in the infancy of independence and all that is good and bad in these early stages.

National Geographic Documentary ➥ Mystery Of Aztec & Maya Civilization ᴴᴰ https://youtu.be/Xu53MXoYZc4 https://youtu.be/Xu53MXoYZc4 The Aztec (/ˈæztɛk/[1]) people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Nahuatl words aztecatl [asˈtekat͡ɬ] (singular)[2] and aztecah [asˈtekaʔ] (plural)[2] mean "people from Aztlan",[3] a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City), situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who referred to themselves as Mēxihcah Tenochcah [meː...
