WOTR - ‘the United States’ decades-long romance with technological fixes to complex national security problems takes the wrong perspective. The government’s challenge with open source isn’t just a technical one; it’s a political science one.‘ warontherocks.com/2022/10/bu…

What to give the Ukrainian military, and how, to help them push back on land, in the air, and at sea warontherocks.com/2022/04/su…
From @Jack_Watling; ‘before putting more money into procurement, many NATO members would be well served by ensuring that their troops are deployable, trained and have sufficient reloads for a serious fight.’
Just How Tall Are Russian Soldiers? I write for @RUSI_org Defence Systems on Russian military performance in Ukraine, and the lessons for @NATO armies in ensuring they are ready to deter further aggression: rusi.org/explore-our-researc…

On this #StDavidsDay, units of @TheRoyalWelsh arriving in Estonia 🇪🇪 to reinforce NATO’s Eastern flank. 🏴 standing up for freedom today, as so often in the past 🏴🇺🇦🇬🇧 #StandWithUkraine #BritishArmy
2000 km through 5 Allied countries to double the 🇬🇧 commitment to the enhanced Forward Presence. Transported by @OC_19_Tanks, the lead elements of @TheRoyalWelsh—incl. Challenger-2 MBTs—arrived in 🇪🇪. Since 2017, #eFP has been the core of #NATO's deterrence in the Baltic region.

Most significantly it outlines how it is going to be accountable, with quarterly KPI reports ‘made publicly available to provide transparency’ so come back at them if progress stalls. 5/6

Not much mention of veterans though – you missed that. They’re briefly mentioned in the governance chapter but I’d want to see more as they, and their families, are vulnerable if ignored – see @A_Loyd_Times article - thetimes.co.uk/article/suici… 6/6

Excellent thread which highlights an often overlooked historical background which reinforces the importance of @BG_Poland_eFP @BG_LTU_eFP @eFPBGLatvia @ComdUKeFP.
The Ukraine crisis has folks questioning @NATO's post-Cold War expansion into Eastern Europe, especially former Soviet Republics (namely the Baltic states of 🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻).
So how exactly did the Baltics get into NATO?

Genuinely, this is the most impressive initiative I’ve heard of for a long time. @RoyalWelshClub this is your natural next step. Have a watch. The ‘why’ should be obvious; if not read this: thetimes.co.uk/article/suici…
The new Hard Hitters boxing club has been born from the Always A Rifleman Programme. It is a group of Riflemen who have formed a club that’s run by veterans, for veterans.

Servicemen and women from Foreign and Commonwealth Nations have to pay to live in the UK afterwards.
This is totally wrong; it’s not who we are. Together with with @DanJarvisMP @PoppyLegion @HelpforHeroes we are urging MP’s to vote to force the Gov’t to remove them this week.
