EXERCISE TRANSGLOBE

A major Tri-Service Adventurous Sail Training Exercise open to all UK service personnel, Regular and Reserve, from July 2009 to July 2010. The aim of the exercise is to develop the personal qualities essential to Regular and Reserve members of HM Forces through adventurous sail training in a Service environment.

Over 500 service personnel will experience the highs and lows of ocean crossings from the heat of the Tropics to the Cold of the Southern Ocean. TRANSGLOBE will test their physical and mental stamina whilst building confidence in themselves and their fellow crew members.
