The Light Dragoons Battlegroup met the Estonian Prime Minister today on Ex SPRING STORM. A fantastic opportunity during a great exercise.

Light cavalry reconnaissance troops can cover more ground, faster, than any other land asset in the British Army. Ex SPRING STORM saw us cover up to 60km of forested terrain in hours, sweeping through Estonia at the front of a brigade advance.
