20,000 personnel to deploy to northern Europe.

Post by Jackstar »

"The UK is stepping up its military presence in Northern Europe Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced.
More than 20,000 British troops will be deployed to the region next year."

"That acceleration will include sending more than 20,000 soldiers, sailors, marines and air men and women to the region next year, alongside 8 Royal Navy ships, 25 fast jets and an aviation task force of Apache, Chinook and Wildcat helicopters. They will take part in large-scale, multi-country exercises, as well as carrying out air policing and cold weather training.”

5,000 troops, each on 3 months, as British Army pivots away from BATUS.
