216 (Parachute) Signal Squadron has been in Belize performing Operation Cain, a project which has put a new tactical communications system to the test.

16 Air Assault Brigade will utilise the new system on the future battlefield to strengthen voice and data links between paratroopers on the front line and ops rooms thousands of miles away.

The signallers have also been learning how to survive and fight in the central American jungle, building shelters, finding water and completing live fire battle drills.
