WHERE NEXT?
2013 is a whole new year, and as we talk about the drawdown of our service personnel from Afghanistan and our men and women coming home I have to ponder the questions what, and where next?
Sabres are still being rattled in Argentina. Syria is a “close watch” situation, with small escalations seeming to take place daily. We’ve just seen the deployment of a small number of British troops to Mali in support of the French operations there. And our commitments to maritime security (see Direct Action this month) seem to be as heavy as ever.
On the flip side I read with some disgust of troops still on the front line being approached and offered “early redundancy” while they are still in an active and perilous war zone. Where is this going and how much can our stoic troops actually take? Once again they are being asked to go “above and beyond” and it is the measure of British Forces that they face all of this with their usual tenacity.
“Where next?” is also a question I regularly ask myself about Raider. It’s been my great pleasure to work more closely with contributors from around the globe, and it’s been really exciting to see how this has affected our readership! The Raider Facebook page has seen more traffic than ever in the past few weeks, indicating that more and more folk are talking about us.
Following a busy SHOT Show we’ve hooked up with even more kit manufacturers from around the world; our good friend Eric Fine from The Gear Locker brings us a super report this month from Las Vegas. This is going to be followed up with “boots on the ground” at IWA in Germany!
It’s our aim to continue to bring you the best possible reports and reviews that we can. You can rest assured that wherever things do go next we’ll be there to make sure that the stories of our troops do get told!
