✈️Cooperation doesn’t stand still. It takes flight. 🇬🇧🇶🇦 @RoyalAirForce Voyager took to the skies with Qatari partners during Exercise Soaring Falcon. 🤝Training together strengthens the relationships & shared understanding that help our forces operate effectively side by side.

General Nick Perry DSO MBE 🇬🇧 assumes Command of Joint Force Command Norfolk. Addressing the Command, Gen. Perry set out a clear focus for JFC Norfolk and NATO’s mission across the North Atlantic: “The North Atlantic is once again a theatre of strategic competition. The assumptions many of us enjoyed for decades can no longer be taken for granted. That is why: 🔹Deterrence matters. 🔹Readiness matters. 🔹Warfighting matters. And that is why this Command exists. Our task is simple to describe, but demanding to deliver: to ensure NATO can deter aggression, defend the Alliance and, if deterrence fails, prevail in conflict alongside our Allies and partners.” 🔗jfcnorfolk.nato.int/activity… @NATO | @SecGenNATO | @SHAPE_NATO | @NATOJFCBS | @JFC_Naples | @NATO_MARCOM | @NATO_AIRCOM | @LANDCMD | @DefenceHQ | @DefenceOps | @UKNATO | @UKCDS_MOD | @GenGJenkinsRM | @CSOC_MOD | @UKinUSA
