editDescriptionBritish troops exercise in Estonia as part of the NATO's eFP (Enhanced Forward Presence) MOD 45163304.jpg |
English: Pictured is a French Leclerc mk2 Main Battle Tank (MBT) in Silhouette, and shrouded in smoke after firing during the live fire element of a joint UK/French exercise as part of the eFP deployment.
The aim of the exercise was to give troops from both France and the UK a chance to watch each other’s main battle tanks in action, the Leclerc mk2 from France and the Challenger 2 from the UK. After the tank ranges had finished, both armies set up a range to test out each other’s individual weapon system, an activity enjoy by all due to its rarity. The enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup in Estonia deployed on an Estonian Defence League organised exercise, which saw members of the 5 RIFLES BG tested in both an armoured and light role phase. UK Armed Forces are taking a leading role in NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP), with the British Army leading a multinational Battlegroup in Estonia from early 2017. The eFP in the Baltic States will see the deployment of robust, multinational, combat-ready forces to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, on a persistent, rotational basis. This movement forms part of a wider package of initiatives designed to enhance Euro-Atlantic security, reassure our Allies and deter our adversaries. This deployment is just one aspect of a wide range of UK support to NATO. From January 2017, the UK assumed responsibility for NATO’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) contributing about 3,000 personnel, leading a structured group of 14 partner nations.
