The Chief of the General Staff

I just came back from London, representing Ukraine's Armed Forces. A Ukrainian soldier at the stage, in a room full of British generals and NATO planners, and they were taking notes. It's the most distinguished audience I've ever spoken to. Let me tell you what happened 🧵🇺🇦

Today @DanJarvisMBE announced the @BritishArmy's £2Bn Collective Training Transformation Programme. New kit matters. But true fighting power comes from revolutionising how we think, train, and adapt. gov.uk/government/new…

Poignant moment today as my old friend, Gen Chris Donahue, leaves NATO's Allied Land Command. ​ 'CD' is a warrior-statesman who made our world a safer, better place. ​The command changes, but the man doesn’t. I know he’ll never truly be off the mission. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

I warmly congratulate Lt Gen Nick Perry on his deserved promotion and appointment as Commander JFC Norfolk @NATO. Nick has made an outstanding contribution to defence throughout his very distinguished career. His command will strengthen NATO’s defence. ➡️gov.uk/government/new…

The #RoyalNavy has worked with @BritishArmy colleagues to successfully launch a strike-capable drone from ship XV Patrick Blackett. royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/july…

The Defence Investment Plan has been published – our plan to equip our armed forces and defend our future. Here’s the key things you need to know in the 🧵👇

Thank you to the men, women, and families of our Armed Forces, both past and present, in and out of uniform, for your service to our nation. #ArmedForcesDay

A big thank you to @RUSI_org for delivering their fantastic annual Land Warfare Conference. Great to see @NATO Army Chiefs, and Allies from 42 countries, particularly @FedorovMykhailo who spoke passionately about adaptation and the scaling of uncrewed systems. #LandWarfare26

'the cost we impose on that aggressor must be felt immediately' Speaking at the RUSI Land Warfare Conference 2026, General Sir Roly Walker (@ArmyCGS) outlined the @BritishArmy's approach to deterrence: leveraging autonomous systems, persistent deep strikes and enhanced readiness to deny adversaries freedom of action and strengthen security across NATO's eastern flank.

Behind the scenes of our latest First-Person View drone training. Drone technology provides situational awareness to our soldiers on the ground.

"To us is given the honour of striking a blow for freedom which will live in history..." Monty's words echo through time. Lest we forget.

"As Captain General of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, it gives me the greatest pride on this most significant day to witness the formation of your new regiment — The King's Gurkha Artillery. Ajur din ramro cha! [Today is a good day!]"

An extraordinary triumph of grit, discipline, and sheer determination. Congratulations to the men and women of The Ranger Regiment who summited Everest this weekend. You, your team, and your support staff epitomise the spirit that defines our Army. "By all means" 🇬🇧

We've been conducting a major @NATO exercise in London this week - and no one above ground suspected a thing. Hundreds of soldiers have been testing how they would run a major NATO command post, hidden deep beneath one of the busiest cities on earth. Read more ⬇️ bit.ly/4dMwHfs

Brilliant visits this week to MOD Ashchurch, @104Bde, @abports21, and @17_RLC who help enable and deploy one of NATO's two Strategic Reserve Corps: @HQARRC 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Thank you for what you and yours do.

Huge congratulations to the soldiers of 2 RGR based in Brunei who won the inaugural Pacific Land Forces Readiness Challenge in Hawaii in a field of nine elite teams from across that region🏆 A powerful reminder our soldiers are THE point of difference to anyone, anywhere.

Congratulations to @16AirAssltBde and @RoyalAirForce on a breathtaking airborne operation into Tristan da Cunha. Supporting Britons in one of the most remote communities on Earth is testament to the UK's commitment and capability, and a masterclass in force projection.

Sacrifice. Remembrance. Partnership. Humbled to represent the @BritishArmy in the Republic of Korea today at the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of the Imjin River. A powerful reminder unity can change history and partnerships built under fire can last generations.

Setting the standard high 🏆 Corporal Luke O’Neill is first winner of the new Fitzgibbon Award, recognising excellence in the Army’s junior ranks 👏 Corporal O'Neill from 1st Battalion @RiflesRegiment, has made a real impact helping drive innovation at battalion 🪖 Read more below ⬇️ bit.ly/4vH2WEE
