Soldiers from the 1 Mercian Battlegroup are settling into their stint on Operation Cabrit.
Having taken the reins of Nato’s mission in Estonia from The Royal Dragoon Guards, the infanteers and attached units were getting stuck into the role as this issue went to press, starting with a command post exercise.
The process of integrating with the host nation brigade will continue through a series of joint drills – culminating in Exercise Hedgehog next month, which will test the country’s defensive response.
The Mercians’ tour got off to a memorable start when Colonel-in-Chief, the Prince of Wales dropped into Tapa Camp to speak to personnel and get hands-on with military kit.
