  2.  @ynwa3476  Yes I know. I was in the British army for 24 years; a 2434 from 1974 - 98. You are incorrect too; it is not a task force. It is just exercise elements arriving at sunny Senne (as we called Sennelager).

  3.  @ynwa3476  no no, I don’t mean to ‘educate’ anyone. Sadly we have nothing in the UK. The entire UK contingent was deployed in ONE ro ro ship…from Marchwood - Emden in a STUFT vessel…Ship Taken Up From Trade. We have no military vessels or British merchant fleet to do this so we hire one via the Baltic Exchange. Our Land Rover fleet are un armoured and worn out too. New anything vehicle wise will take years to arrive. During Gulf 1 we hired 132 STUFT ships.
