The Royal Protection officers need to train for any and all terrains, any and all situations, especially since the official travel schedules of the Royal Family take them to all parts of the globe. Our counterpart here is the Secret Service, who guard the President and the First Family, and believe me, they are trained to handle anything that can possibly happen anywhere, from the sands of the desert to the coldest, most forbiding of northern climes.

How else are they supposed to protect the RF? :roll: Hellooo! As long as the RF is going to go on these jaunts, these men need to become very familiar with a terrain they would not get to spend time in otherwise. Taking untrained protection officers, now THAT would be silly and wasteful. I personally was not outraged by the news that some of these men went to train in the slopes of the Alps.
