Behind the Scenes at Ten Tors - How the R SIGNALS Kept 2,400 Cadets Safe
This weekend, the Ten Tors challenge on Dartmoor saw over 2,400 cadets taking part in one of the UK’s toughest youth endurance events. It was only made possible thanks to the skills and hard work of soldiers from 39 Signal Regiment who established and maintained the safety communications network, tracked teams across the moor, and manned operations rooms that coordinated police, ambulance and fire & rescue teams.
 
This is a powerful example of what Royal Signals Reservists provide - professional, operationally proven communications that keep people safe and enable success in demanding conditions.
