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

The sound of #SteadfastDart25🎶 Soldiers from British Army 🇬🇧 @4Scots1 took time out of building trenches in Romania to introduce their Romanian counterparts to the bagpipes. Fun fact: Every member of the platoon either plays the pipes or the drums. 🥁 The Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland MApN
