It may be the holidays, but there is no excuse for laying-in! Leap out of bed and book tickets for the @EdinburghTattoo today! The British Army's celebration of all things Scottish, set against the majestic Edinburgh Castle. @ArmyScotland
African security is Britain's security. British soldiers of @2PWRRTigers are seen here training Ugandan soldiers in the sorts of skills which will help the Ugandan Battle Group deployed with @UNSomalia defeat Islamist terrorists. @UPDFSPOKESMAN#Africa#GlobalBritain
African security is Britain's security. A British Corporal of @2PWRRTigers mentors soldiers from the @kdfinfo in giving quick orders. This skill gives the Kenyans an advantage over Al Shabaab which will be vital when supporting the @UNSomalia mission. #GlobalBritain#Africa
The 1st & 3rd Battalion @TheRoyalWelsh are exercising with the @MINationalGuard at Fort Grayling, Michigan. An element is the Live Fire Shooting House which allows troops to practice urban clearance drills in a live-fire environment. @USArmy#GlobalBritain https://t.co/9M4Hz2hgdP
It's not just fighting! Craftsman Charlery is deployed on Op #TRENTON in South Sudan. As a mechanic, he is responsible for keeping a variety of vehicles and equipment working, his skills enable the delivery of vital infrastructure for the @UN. @unmissmedia#GlobalBritain#Africa

@elliehallams@RUSI_ArmyFellow@DefAcUK @UKACSC @DefenceResearch Completely agree. I would liken the MRes to Barney's @RUSI_org experience. It fundamentally challenged my previous thoughts and way of approaching complex problems. A great learning opportunity.
@WillM808@RUSI_ArmyFellow Further, MRes programme @DefAcUK @UKACSC @DefenceResearch evidence of embedding and fostering greater critical thinking and producing genuinely innovative research to shape defence in the future
@WillM808@RUSI_ArmyFellow Interesting reflections. US views on UK PME obviously concerning but worth noting senior officials in US hardly enamoured with US PME, described as ‘stagnating’ in the NDS.
