The Princess of Asturias is about to conclude her military training in the Army. These days she faces the most difficult tests of all: maneuvers in which all soldiers put into practice the knowledge learned in the last academic year. The heir of Felipe VIfor which they adapted the study plan to be able to do three years in one, has slept outdoors and participated in field trips with the rest of his classmates, but he has escaped the most complicated and dangerous exercise: hand combat to body

As her superiors have repeated on several occasions, Leonor is an “exemplary student” and has successfully passed the rest of the tests, which include platoon, rifle, helicopter boarding and disembarkation, as well as helicarriment as a transported unit. in tactical environment. “These two camps are the most complex of the course. They require a lot of precision and using everything learned during the course in the field”they assure. “It has been a tough phase, but not impossible to overcome. Here you come to suffer and overcome obstacles.”
Leonor has successfully completed the maneuvers in the San Gregorio camp and is now traveling to Soria, where hard days await her in which she will undergo, among other exercises, a 20-kilometer march on foot along the bank of the Lobos River, from the Bridge of the Seven Eyes until the ascent to the Castle of Ucero passing through the Hermitage of San Bartolomé. She will also face night exercises: “It’s not the first time he’s done it, but it’s hard”they assure.
