Soldiers from our Northern units & wider Army, led by @The_Black_Rats, have been in Estonia for #ExHedgehog.
Alongside NATO allies, they’re training to defend together, respond fast & show the strength of international unity.

We've been out in Estonia supporting @Kaitsevagi in Exercise #hedgehog25 (their annual readiness exercise) and recently worked with the @LANCS_REGT. The Chinook can lift a platoon of troops where it's needed by day and night in any weather. #StrongerTogether#WeAreNATO
British forces are leading Exercise Hedgehog in Estonia this week alongside @NATO Allies and partner nations.
Together, we are strengthening joint interoperability on NATO’s eastern flank to deter aggression and uphold Euro-Atlantic security.
Victory wasn’t won by soldiers alone. 🇬🇧
The King’s Regiment (Liverpool), now The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, fought bravely overseas, while families, workers & communities at home stood behind them with unbreakable spirit.
#NorthernGrit#VEDay80#LionsofEngland@LANCS_REGT
Travelling by air, sea, and rail, hundreds of our soldiers deployed to Estonia as part of Operation #Razoredge.
‘The Black Rats’ demonstrated our ability to deploy a large-scale force to support a @NATO ally within 48 hours 💪

It is with great sadness that the Trustees of The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment announce the death of our Regimental Secretary, Colonel (Retired) Chris Owen. He passed away in hospital on 28th Dec. Our thoughts are with Chris’s wife Meredith and all of their family and friends.
D+1 - final stand of the day for #4LANCS and it’s study #ExSYRACUSELION 🦁where it considers what “could have been” the capture and defence of #Syracuse for #1BORDER had it not been for their ill fated glider borne landings on D Day 9 / 10 Jul 1943. #LANCS#WW2#OpHUSKY
