British troops get driver training from U.S. soldiers

The 196th Regiment Regional Training Institute of the South Dakota Army National Guard recently undertook that very mission for British soldiers with the 27th Regiment and the 154th Scottish Regiment of the Royal Logistic Corps during its annual Golden Coyote training exercise.
