2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2 RTR) Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank drives across the Drawsko Pomorskie training area during Ex Steadfast Defender, Poland.
Exercise Steadfast Defender 2024, the largest NATO deployment of its kind in a generation, is a programme of exercises designed to train and demonstrate the Alliance’s ability to reinforce continental Europe via movement of forces from the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. This demonstrates the ability to move soldiers, their vehicles and equipment quickly across thousands of miles to enable the defence of NATO territory.
The UK plays a leading role in NATO and this exercise is about demonstrating the British Army’s ability to operate and fight, including providing leadership and operating well with partners from across the alliance. In turn this demonstrates the importance of NATO to the security resilience of the UK. n
