⚡ The storm has some competition this #PhoonFriday ✈️@RoyalAirForce Typhoons on Operation Shader are ready to respond, protecting UK interests and supporting security in the Middle East. 🇬🇧 Whatever the backdrop, the mission stays in focus.
💥This is what collective defence looks like. 🤝British forces on Operation Cabrit train alongside @NATO allies, sharpening their skills to deter threats & defend NATO’s eastern flank. 🛡️We are #StrongerTogether @NATObgest @BritishArmy
⚓ When disaster strikes, every second counts. 🤝@HMSTrent’s teams trained with Cayman Islands partners, sharing disaster response skills and demonstrating how drones can support search and rescue. 🌊 Building Caribbean resilience together, before a crisis strikes.
⚓️ Making waves. Taking action. ⛴️ @RoyalMarines have been sharpening their boarding skills in the Faroe Islands during Exercise Lion Protector. 🌊 Training with @JEFnations allies to counter threats and protect vital infrastructure across the High North. #StrongerTogether
💥 Bringing the firepower. Building the readiness. 🇬🇧 Mortar crews on Operation Cabrit keep their skills sharp through ongoing training in Estonia. 🛡️ Ready to deter. Ready to defend. Standing with our @NATO Allies. #StrongerTogether
🔥 Afterburners on. Weekend incoming. ✈️ Turning up the heat for #PhoonFriday with the @RoyalAirForce Typhoon. 💪 For the pilots, engineers and crews behind every sortie, readiness runs right through the weekend.
A new chapter. An enduring commitment The Coalition’s military mission in Iraq has concluded with Iraqi forces taking the lead on security The UK will continue to support Iraqs security & stability working with Iraqi partners to develop an enduring bilateral defence partnership
A new chapter for NATO. 🇬🇧 General Nick Perry DSO MBE has assumed command of @JFCNorfolk — the first British officer to lead the NATO headquarters. The UK is strengthening @NATO's ability to safeguard the transatlantic link and deter threats across the North Atlantic, Arctic and High North.
🔥 New week. Same focus: ready. 🌍On Operation Cabrit, @BritishArmy troops train alongside @NATO Allies to strengthen the Alliance’s eastern flank. 🪖Exercise Bold Dragon puts that readiness into action. 🤝Train together. Deter together. Defend together. #StrongerTogether
✈️Cooperation doesn’t stand still. It takes flight. 🇬🇧🇶🇦 @RoyalAirForce Voyager took to the skies with Qatari partners during Exercise Soaring Falcon. 🤝Training together strengthens the relationships & shared understanding that help our forces operate effectively side by side.
General Nick Perry DSO MBE 🇬🇧 assumes Command of Joint Force Command Norfolk. Addressing the Command, Gen. Perry set out a clear focus for JFC Norfolk and NATO’s mission across the North Atlantic: “The North Atlantic is once again a theatre of strategic competition. The assumptions many of us enjoyed for decades can no longer be taken for granted. That is why: 🔹Deterrence matters. 🔹Readiness matters. 🔹Warfighting matters. And that is why this Command exists. Our task is simple to describe, but demanding to deliver: to ensure NATO can deter aggression, defend the Alliance and, if deterrence fails, prevail in conflict alongside our Allies and partners.” 🔗jfcnorfolk.nato.int/activity/gener… @NATO | @SecGenNATO | @SHAPE_NATO | @NATOJFCBS | @JFC_Naples | @NATO_MARCOM | @NATO_AIRCOM | @LANDCMD | @DefenceHQ | @DefenceOps | @UKNATO | @UKCDS_MOD | @GenGJenkinsRM | @CSOC_MOD | @UKinUSA
⚡️24 nations. One shared challenge. 🌎At Exercise Bold Quest in Michigan, the UK’s Integrated Warfare Centre and Commando Force tested how Allied forces connect, coordinate and deliver effects together. 🤝 Stronger as one.
🇬🇧🇺🇸 Training together. Protecting what matters. @RoyalMarines from @43Commando trained alongside U.S. Federal Agents in Arkansas 🇺🇸, strengthening the coordination, communication and shared procedures needed for complex security operations. Through demanding tactical scenarios, UK and U.S. personnel refined their ability to operate together — exchanging expertise and building a common approach to nuclear security and the protection of sensitive assets. Shared skills. Stronger interoperability. Greater security. 📸LPhot Connor Kilbride @RoyalNavy | @UKNATO | @UKinUSA | @UKdefenceUS | @GenGJenkinsRM | @USNATO | @DefenceOps | @Commando_Ops
🔧From hangar to runway, every #PhoonFriday is a team effort. Behind every Typhoon take-off is a team of skilled @RoyalAirForce personnel keeping it ready, capable and airborne. ✈️ One team. One mission. Ready to launch.
⚓Anchored in Partnership 🛳️ @hms_tamar has arrived in Brunei, strengthening the UK’s enduring commitment to security & cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. 🇧🇳Building lasting relationships with our Bruneian partners through shared values, engagement & maritime collaboration.
🎯Eyes on. Target identified. Aircraft cleared in. 🤝JTACs train to direct air power safely & precisely, connecting troops on the ground with aircraft overhead. 🌍On Op CABRIT, these skills build readiness & strengthen how @DefenceHQ work with Allies across the region & @NATO✈️
🌗 Daylight fades. The training doesn’t. From first light to after dark, Exercise Combined Warrior tested personnel around the clock - building the skills and readiness needed to operate whatever the conditions. 🌙 Training doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. @BritishArmy
