The exercise was aimed at ensuring that technicians will be able to cope with and overcome any technical difficulties during combat deployment.
As part of the training exercise, the squadron set up voice and data lines in a completely bare field using masts, a satellite dish and extremely specialist vehicle-borne equipment.
Senior Aircraftsman (SAC) Lee Lightfoot said: “Training like this gives us the right experience to work on the equipment.”
