I'm not flying to TELIC (and extremely pleased not to be given the tales of explosive limb removal I've recently been perusing). The reason I asked was because the Army seem to whine about it quite a lot, and it seemed best to get both viewpoints before forming an opinion.
Combine: thanks for the answer, but to push my luck, it doesn't really seem to address the point of why units have to spend 12 hours there. I mean, if they weren't there so long, they wouldn't need accomodation.
The example in question was 1 PWRR deploying to Iraq for their tour in 2004; this would presumably come under the heading of a unit move.
