TERRITORY soldiers were outnumbered when they faced an army of saltwater crocodiles.
But one lieutenant said he was glad their weapons had already been disarmed.
Lt Arron Kinleyside, 21, said 20 troops from 8/12 Regiment of the Royal Australian Artillery helped move more than 400 saltwater crocodiles at Crocodylus Park.
He said the army helped move the little snappers at the crocodile park every year, but this was the first time his unit had been involved.
"The guys really enjoyed it," he said.
But he said as well as helping out the park the exercise was a good way to get soldiers into a situation with a certain amount of risk - something they would face when deployed overseas.
