[h=2]Exercise Wessex Warrior: Irish Guards complete training[/h]
Exercise Wessex Warrior is a two-week training event that builds through a series of company exercises in the urban and rural environment, culminating in a full battlegroup exercise. Once the whole package is completed the battlegroup is then ready to deploy operationally for the next three years.
In part of the planned exercise, which took place on the Salisbury Plain Training Area, the battlegroup is tasked to clear a village, which is under the control of insurgents. Leading the attack was Number 4 Company 1 Irish Guards, under the command of Major Tim Rogers.
Major Rogers explained: “One purpose of the exercise was it gave the Irish Guards Battlegroup the first opportunity to work using the Light Infantry role using the new Army 2020 order of battle that has been established as part of the Future Army 2020 reforms.”

I think they are not regular army, and Singapore probably has some program that requires students to train/serve the army for certain period before continue to university. I think Taiwan also has that program.
