Summary: Members of the Gurkha Regiment practicing in the deserts of Oman for Exercise Saif Sareea II.

Shots of the "victims" lying on the ground. General shots of the area after the exercise as soldiers mill around and talk. Further shots of Gurkha attacks with kukris drawn.
III. Soldiers aim an anti-tank weapon in a foxhole, surrounded by cameramen; they have the saltire and the Scottish Royal Standard flying.
