Thank you Vjosa Osmani & Albin Kurti for inviting Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 and our veterans to mark 25 years since #NATO forces entered #Pristina with you. Our veterans have been deeply humbled by the welcome they have received across #Kosovo and amazed by the progress made. 🇬🇧🤝🇽🇰

Happy #ArmedForcesDay folks! 🇬🇧 Here’s to every sailor, soldier and aviator. Every veteran. Every cadet. Every family member. Who has played a part in protecting our nation. This is a day, for you.

The British Army 🇬🇧 plays a vital role in #NATO activity. From securing the alliance’s flanks in Estonia to major exercises, it is committed to protecting our shared security. #1NATO75years #NATOSummit

The #DesertRats move from being the NATO #VJTF to the vanguard for the Allied Reaction Force. The ARF is faster to deploy and operates in multiple domains #ARF #DeterAndDefend #WeAreNATO

From July the #DesertRats take our place in the NATO Allied Reaction Force. Still at very high readiness but even faster to deploy to #DeterandDefend or deliver crisis management #WeAreNATO #ARF

We are the Army that the Nation needs and NATO wants. By harnessing the exceptional talent of our people, we play a critical role in supporting NATO. To find out how we play our part, check out the video below ⬇️ #WeAreNATO
