Royal Welsh Battlegroup becomes British Army’s Lead Armoured Battlegroup for world-wide deployment

Over 1,000 soldiers of The Royal Welsh Battlegroup deployed to Altmark Training Area, Germany, to complete the final phase of Exercise IRON STORM. The Battlegroup now assumes the Lead Armoured Battlegroup role at readiness for a period of two years, responding to any crisis world-wide if directed. Exercise IRON STORM also tests the concept of a global/regional hub defined under the UK government’s recent Integrated Review. The Germany based Hub is known as NATO Forward Holding Base Sennelager and is primarily responsible for holding armoured and other vehicles to equip two Battlegroups. The equipment is held at readiness with part of the fleet handed over to exercising troops such as the exercise at Altmark. Exercises such as IRON STORM demonstrate that the British Army is capable of deploying troops from the UK to the European continent quickly, provide them with the necessary equipment and then moving the Battlegroup throughout Europe if required. #armynews #battletanks #britisharmy #militaryexercise #armouredvehicle #challenger2 #armouredinfantry #germany
