For the first time in 15 years Reservists from the 101st Northumbrian Regiment Royal Artillery, have fired the Multiple Launch Rocket System at Kirkcudbright Ranges in Dumfries and Galloway.  

The MLRS is the British Army’s main ‘precision fire’ weapon system, able to engage targets at long ranges with extreme accuracy. Each battery has its own reconnaissance and command sections which control the MLRS movement and firing, as well as the delivery of ammunition. The 3 man MLRS detachment will often operate and move independently, as will the other elements of the of the battery, such as the 2 man ammunition crew.
