LWRV - January 2023
The UK remains committed to supporting the UN’s peacekeeping missions around the world and, as part of this, have deployed 300 troops to The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). Op Newcombe is the name of the UK commitment to that mission. The UK Task Force, primarily drawn from the Light Dragoons and Royal Anglians, but supported by specialist trades from across the Armed Forces, is configured for reconnaissance. Using a range of vehicle including Jackals and Coyotes, their initial task is to understand the operating environment in the area around their base in Gao so that they are well placed to support the UN mission. The UK Task Force provides a highly specialised capability for the UN, conducting patrols to gather intelligence and engage with the local population to help the UN respond to threats from violent extremism. Op RATEL WEST was the latest mission that the LRRG task group deployed on with the UN. The task group deployed out in full. These photos show the Light Dragoon Sub unit in action. The Task group spent 9 days deployed in an area the size of Belgium to find and understand as much about the human and physical terrain in the area to the South West of Gao. This was all to support the UN and provide them with valuable information to achieve the overall mission in country.
Following a dawn Raid, soldiers from 3 Rifles conduct kit administration overlooking the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The 3rd Battalion the Rifles (3 RIFLES) are deployed on Exercise NOBLE JUMP in Romania, which is part of a wider exercise called Exercise Defender 21. The Support and Headquarters Companies of 3 RIFLES are at Cincu Training Area, Romania, to partner with the UK’s NATO Allies. 3 RIFLES are working alongside the 66th Turkish Brigade, as well as elements of the Italian and US Armies. The Exercise will see the soldiers of different nationalities conduct interoperability training together, as well as live fire ranges. Despite COVID restrictions, the Army is still conducting demanding training overseas, with covid 19 precautions in place. All personnel deployed had to have proof of a negative PCR covid test 72 hours before deployment.
Soldiers and equipment from the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (Land) (VJTF(L)) have been showcased to the World’s press at the Exercise Polish Dragon NATO Media facility on Monday, 4 March. Troops from the spearhead battlegroup and other elements across the Brigade put on a united front alongside NATO partners, with equipment including a Royal Engineers M3 amphibious rig, a SV-R recovery vehicle, an L118 light gun and a Jackal high mobility truck on display. This display comes ahead of the wet gap crossing of the Vistula River, when the German British Pioneer Bridging Battalion 130 will facilitate thousands of Polish British, US, German, Turkish, French, Spanish and Lithuanian troops and their respective equipment to cross the river, a task only made more complicated by recent heavy rain. The day also saw the declaration of full operational capability of this joint Bridging Battalion, which is based in Minden, Germany. Comprising two German amphibious companies, alongside 23 Amphibious Engineer squadron and various support companies, the Battalion now counts circa 1200 soldiers. Since its formation in 2021, the Battalion has undergone a development pathway to ensure that they can deliver the joint capability to NATO.
A British Jackal 2 reconnaissance vehicle from the Light Dragoons, travels across a training area in Estonia. Personnel from all three services of the UK Armed Forces are deployed in Estonia, carrying out exercises and operations as part of our commitment to NATO. More than 1,500 troops have been deployed for Exercise Spring Storm, demonstrating the reinforcement of the UK-led NATO enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup to Brigade-sized strength. 14,000 personnel from 11 NATO countries will demonstrate interoperability in multi-domain training scenarios as part of the exercise. More than 1,500 UK troops are set to train alongside thousands of personnel from NATO Alliance countries, as part of a major exercise in Estonia. Exercise Spring Storm is the largest annual military exercise involving the UK-led NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup, comprised of both UK and French forces, with more than 14,000 personnel due to take part from 11 NATO countries. At last year’s NATO summit, the UK committed to increase the size of its eFP commitment, with this year’s exercise marking the first time the UK has conducted a brigade-sized deployment to Estonia – involving hundreds more personnel than in previous deployments.
