Description: I. Showing the transport by road of desert camouflaged Warrior armoured personnel carriers and Challenger tanks. They arrive at a port and are unloaded from the transporters for embarkation in ships for passage to the Persian Gulf. Warrior, Challenger and Ferret vehicles are then seen as they are loaded onto railway trucks for transport; soldiers guide them into position and secure them for the journey. Scenes of soldiers relaxing as they wait also appear, including the appearance of two boys with skateboards; they talk to the men and a soldier tries out a skateboard himself.
II. Beginning with unedited shots of Brigadier Patrick Cordingley, commander of 7th Armoured Brigade, as he talks about how the events surrounding the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 have affected his command and the possible options for a Gulf deployment. There are then scenes of 7th Armoured Division's Warrior armoured personnel carriers and Challenger tanks in Germany as they are loaded onto railway trucks for transport.
