I'm not overly familiar with the makeup over there... but that's what the article said.

4 rifles is a battalion of the rifles, the welsh guards is the welsh guards.

Maybe a similar structure to the US' combined arms combat team?

Yes its a mix and match.
It becomes the welsh guards group as that is the senior regiment even though it is younger regiment.

They'll get a pat on the back for reducing the amount of ammunition used! Every round saved helps the budget!

The MoD will issue a note to all infantry expecting them to achieve the same kind of frugal spending of ammunition in order to conserve stocks now, just you see.

I went out and measured off 200 feet (A 3rd of my back yard)
Given your in front or behind that line of travel?
It's a fairly easy shot provided they were traveling in a straight line.
What makes it a GREAT shot?
I would have gone for a body shot to insure the Targets were eliminated.
He got a double head shot!
That makes it outstanding in my book!
My Commanders would probably have chewed my arse out for even attempting the head shot!

The only thing nowadays to cut things with is paper. Damn it smarts, and the bureaucracy is killing the forces.
