Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pictured are soldiers from D Company, 5 RIFLES on exercise after deploying to Estonia. They are operating in dense forests whilst taking part in a multinational exercise in Estonia as part of NATO's eFP (Enhanced Forward Presence).

The exercise was designed to improve cohesion amongst the many nations contributing towards the eFP effort in the Baltics.

UK Armed Forces are taking a leading role in NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP), with the British Army leading a multinational Battlegroup in Estonia from early 2017.

The eFP in the Baltic States will see the deployment of robust, multinational, combat-ready forces to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, on a persistent, rotational basis. This movement forms part of a wider package of initiatives designed to enhance Euro-Atlantic security, reassure our Allies and deter our adversaries.

This deployment is just one aspect of a wide range of UK support to NATO. From January 2017, the UK assumed responsibility for NATO’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) contributing about 3,000 personnel, leading a structured group of 14 partner nations.
