Military Exercises

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the merits of participation by the Royal Air Force in the Anatolian Eagle 2014 exercise; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

Participation in Exercise Anatolian Eagle in 2014 at Konya Air base in Turkey afforded UK personnel with the experience of deploying and operating alongside NATO and other potential coalition allies. This includes exposure to the complexities of operating large numbers of aircraft from the same base and in missions of large airborne formations.
