What's in a name?

Changes have been made to the structure of the army in Germany.

Nato Forward Holding Base (Sennelager) has been renamed the Nato Support and Training Centre (Germany).

And the organisation now sits under Regional Command instead of Field Army.

Commander Col Mike Foster-Brown explained to Soldier the changes would “better match our role as the significance of the organisation grows”.

The officer added: “The last 12 months have seen 25,000 troops visit Sennelager to work, train and support the Nato base, and that tempo will continue.

“We look forward to working with Regional Command to take this forward and better align to the delivery of our purpose, which remains to enable Nato and UK forces to fight and win wars in Europe from the land, providing a logistic hub for vehicles, material and personnel, and a centre to develop combined-arms excellence.”

Among the latest soldiers to deploy to Sennelager were personnel from 19th Light Brigade (shown above, with report on page 36).

Meanwhile, the Germany Enabling Office has now become part of the Cyber and Specialist Operations Command.
