Arctic security is vital for Britain and NATO. As threats increase, Britain is stepping up. Great to join @EspenBarthEide at Camp Viking to see the work of @royalmarines with Norway and sign a new agreement on tackling the Russian Shadow Fleet.

@curryman07 Mate, that’s amazing - thank you so much. You may not be a professional but you are really bloody good at it! I had thought his story was lost…

I know it's not the best image, but can anybody tell what medal this is? My relative, Frederick Jamieson, died 31st Oct 1914, now buried in Wimereux.

@curryman07 @kejamieson_ Harry - if you have a moment I’d love to know more about my great-great- great uncle who I think ended up commissioning into the East Yorks in WW1 - this is all I’ve been able to find and don’t know where to go from here!!

@ian_blewett @ClaireBFBS @ForcesNews Appreciate the rhetorical nature of the quessy, but it’s a brigade, organised as a combat team (all atts and dets are organic to it as a matter of course, not bolted on for individual events from another CoC), which recces for deep strike (physical FIND, Arty strike) - simples..

Ajax on Salisbury Plain. This is its first physical tactical deployment. It’s an essential element of the new Deep Recce Strike Brigade Combat Team being billed as a new way of taking the fight to the enemy. More to come @ForcesNews

Lots of talk today about Britain’s Army chief General Sir Patrick Sanders being sacked / resigning in protest over plans to further gut the Army by CDS Admiral Tony Radakin…(1/10)

Remember - Treat work colleagues who've just been to Glastonbury exactly the same as those who've run a Marathon the prior weekend. Do NOT let on. Don't give them what they want.

@combat_boot @CorunnaSmudge Bovvy doesn’t have a pub unless you like a country walk. 45 mins over the fields to the 7 stars (however in winter those fields are flooded and impassable) so it’s an hour to the pubs in wool. Then they wonder why the Ph2’s are all being done for drink driving to Bournemouth…

@timcarpo @CorunnaSmudge That’s the problem, it’s the first bit to civilisation that’s drama. Lots of basing planning by people with kids getting CEA that like country walks to pubs. I’d quite happily go to places like that, I have plenty cars, like remote places for MTB & dog. Young families less so.

Two cars, in receipt of CEA, spouse doesn’t need/want to work? Head to Tidworth, Bulford, Larkhill & enjoy a 2 year remote posting. We should be warning ppl of the issues & they can make a sensible decision what to put on PPP.

Bus cancelled again today. Nobody has warned families posted to #Tidworth #Bulford #Larkhill that schools & spouse jobs are a disaster. @ArmyCGS @ArmySgtMajor @DefencePeople @PhilipIngMBE @ArmyBasing @ArmySWcomd @combat_boot @DanOB1986 @MilitaryBanter @thinkdefence @wiltscouncil

@CorunnaSmudge @combat_boot Exact same for bovington.. it’s an hour walk to the train station to access Bournemouth, Poole or Weymouth.. another example of the entire estate being in lovely place but completely arranged around early marriage, kids and two cars..

@combat_boot I am in Thorney Island which is stunning and far more remote. Never mind a unreliable bus service it has no bus service at all.

Pre-tied bow ties are ludicrous and embarrassing. A pretend bow should be in an eight-year-old girl's hair, not round the neck of a grown man. Learn to tie a proper bow tie.

@rorysutherland The way I look at it we are moving from the era of creation to the era of curation - neither role will disappear but their parameters and required skill sets will drastically change..
