Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Linda Gilroy (Labour). It was answered by Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) on Monday, 3 November 2008 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Afghanistan (Royal Navy)
- Question
- How many Royal Navy personnel are deployed in Afghanistan.
- Answer
-
The size of the force committed to Operation Herrick 9 is about 8,000. Since October, 3 Commando Brigade has formed the core of the Helmand taskforce. As a result, more than 2,000 of that force are currently drawn from the Royal Navy itself. The Royal Navy, and all our forces in Helmand, continue to perform a vital role in safeguarding essential UK interests. We can all be rightly proud of the work that they do.
