Training in South Sudan
Training in Iraq
The Nepal Army Rangers are one of the most active contributing forces in current United Nations peace keeping operations around the world. Currently there are Nepal Army Ranger battalions stationed in Sudan, Syria and Iraq. Since the practice of Nippon Kan Aikido has been adopted as part of Ranger basic training in Kathmandu, there are now Ranger instructors in these countries who have completed the Aikido training program.
The next generation of Army Ranger cadets are currently training in Nepal at a mountain training base where they will complete rigorous mountain training exercises for the next three months.
