Great insight here into #mobility in close #terrain. But this underlies the importance of terrain analysis and the #intelligence preparation of the operating environment (IPOE). @MilGeoscience @HQARRC
Where larger vehicles cannot always go, the Fardiers keep moving. 🌲 Their mobility and compact design make them particularly well suited to the Estonian environment, ensuring personnel and equipment can be moved quickly across the area of operations. 🇫🇷🇪🇪🇬🇧

Scottish #football fans proving once again that they’re some of the best in the world in #Boston. Best of luck to #Scotland I’m very much hoping we do better than our first game in ‘98, albeit that was vs Brazil! Have we drunk the city dry yet 😉 #WorldCupVibes #worldcup

When I was stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood, I took charge of organized caving in Pulaski County. Missouri is home to around 8,000 caves. I discovered six while I was there. The "NSS" in the photo stands for National Speleological Society. While there, I did cave mapping and conducted bat surveys. We also did cave rescues. The photo was taken inside Barry Cave, MO, but if you google it, the cave won't come up as a known entity in Missouri. But I assure you, it's there.

L'Ukraine prend très au sérieux la construction des ses fortifications défensives sous forme de lignes d'obstacles en prenant soin de former des lignes continues. Une déforestation est en cours dans plusieurs zones du front pour permettre la continuité des lignes d'obstacles.

Exercise ARRCADE STRIKE complete. Click here for the 5-minute exclusive interview with Brig Rob Alston: facebook.com/AlliedRapidReac… The Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) has just delivered a unique Command Post Exercise deep beneath Central London, operating from the disused Charing Cross Underground station. Using this subterranean environment, ARRC demonstrated increased readiness to respond to any contingency, reinforcing NATO’s collective defence. Stay tuned to see how the British Army continues to prepare for the challenges ahead. #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether #ARRCADESTRIKE #ARRC #BritishArmy #NATO #LondonUnderground

Ok, fellas, we see all your tags and we get it. But. Being a shitty person doesn't make someone a legitimate military target under international law. Climbing on a tank for internet clout isn't enough to become a combatant. Do something that actually qualifies — then we can talk. Until then, we'll keep our drones for real military targets 😉

Central London became the backdrop for a major NATO readiness Exercise ARRCADE STRIKE, led by HQ ARRC — a rare look at how allied forces train for real‑world scenarios. Don’t miss Thursday’s drop: an exclusive interview with Exercise Director Brigadier Rob Alston plus a full carousel of behind-the-scenes images from inside the exercise. #StrongerTogether #WeAreNato
