Keeping
pace
OPERATION Cabrit
takes centre stage
in this month’s
magazine. Turn to
page 30 to find out
how British troops
are making the most of all Estonia
has to offer in their never-ending
mission to upskill.
Not content with the freezing
Baltic region, our team also travelled
to Northern Ireland to learn more
about the stark changes to UK troops’
way of life there since the conclusion
of the longest continuous deployment
in Service history (page 26).
If there is one thing this edition
makes clear, it is the evolving nature
of conflict.
Gen Sir Nicholas Carter’s words
on future warfare certainly bear this
out too. It will be interesting to see
how changes to military equipment
– such as those outlined on pages 11
and 38 – keep pace with the times.
In the meantime, if you have any
questions or comments on the day
job then contact us using the details
on page 7.
We are part of Army Media and
Communication so you do not need
