YOUNG soldiers are being given a taste of Army life with a five day course being held at Catterick Garrison.
The Yorkshire Warrior event involves the Yorkshire Regiment offering potential trainees the chance to try out the Army.
The infantry regiment scheme saw 60 youngsters drawn from North Yorkshire and the North East take part.
They are divided into battalions and will spend the time carrying out military tasks such as a night ambush, weapon handling and endurance challenges.
They are lodged in barracks at the North Yorkshire Army base for the stay and are being treated much like new recruits would be.
The idea of the project is to give trainees a feel for what life in the Army is like if they enlisted full-time.
