NORTH WEST TROOPS TRAIN WITH NATO IN LATVIA (pictured)

Around 250 soldiers from across the North West have been in Latvia taking part in the NATO led Exercise Silver Arrow.

Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancasters Regiment (2 LANCS) have been working with troops from Latvia, Norway, Estonia and the USA as part of a 2,000-strong Battlegroup sized military training scenario.

It was an opportunity for British Forces to work alongside NATO partner nations as part of the UKs commitment to the collective security of the alliance. All NATO members share training opportunities but Silver Arrow was the latest in a series of Autumn exercises set in Eastern Europe.

In September the 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancasters Regiment, which also recruits from the North West, travelled to Poland as part of Exercise Sabre Junction, and in November 120 soldiers of Chester-based 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment will take part in Exercise Iron Sword in Lithuania.
