Summary edit

Description
English: British troops disembark an RAF A400 on arrival at Keevil Airfield during Exercise Wessex Storm.

Across three days of high tempo activity on both the ground and in the air British, French and American paratroopers demonstrated how they can go by air to battle together.

Exercise Wessex Storm saw the 2 PARA Battlegroup training on Salisbury Plain to confirm its skills and readiness to serve as the lead infantry unit within 16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Army’s global response force. The battlegroup includes a company of some 150 troops from the French 2e Régiment Etranger de Parachutistes (2e REP) and a 40-strong platoon from the US Army’s 2nd Battalion, 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment.

Their involvement is about growing understanding of each other’s capabilities and tactics, to be able to operate together better on any future operations, to be ready to respond together to international crises.
