Exercise Steadfast Defender is taking place across Europe with 16,000 British troops involved - but who keeps the operation running from a sustainment and signals perspective?
The British Army's Theatre Enabling Group (TEG) is delivered by personnel from 104 Theatre Sustainment Brigade. It provides vital logistical support to the soldiers on exercise, ranging from rations and fuel, to communications and the securing of diplomatic passes.
Forces News' James Wharton visited the TEG in Germany to find out more about their crucial role in Nato's largest exercise since the Cold War.

@johnwhitney2431 Месяц назад

You cannot mass like this on a modern battlefield, cheap weapons will always overwhelm defenses, the European countries have to fight in place, no giant reinforcement will be tenable, combat units will have to be trained and disbursed, Reforger style exercises wouldn’t work in the 1980s and certainly won’t work today

@garydonoghue4565 Месяц назад

Why doesn’t the military consult with civilian logistic companies.. companies that operate long distances all over Europe.. military is so out of date and not efficient

@Surv1ve_Thrive 29 дней назад

Because in a war you can't rely on Amazon staff to bring you bullets and bully beef. They won't be there. Some peacetime logistics are outsourced. But there is a risk of becoming lazy and unskilled.

@millennialtrucker6435 25 дней назад

It does. There are also military units that do it in a military way. Most Civilian hauliers aren’t allowed to take a lot of the kit the military needs. They can move a lot of bulky stuff, ISO’s, vehicles, armour etc. but there’s a lot of kit civvies aren’t allowed to take.

Former loggy. Looking at some photos, shouldn't we be training, more than ever, to break up the vehicles and supplies? Rather than cluster them? Be unpredictable. Avoid drones, long-range missiles & air assets. Maybe some pics were just photo opportunities.

they've forgotten the basics . including how dumb it is to tell the potential enemies about organisational structure and placement of assets

@Surv1ve_Thrive 28 дней назад

@CastleHassall yes the videos are odd aren't they? Give away alot of info. But I suppose the exercises are propaganda to show we are active, flexing our muscle etc. But sometimes the detail is a bit OTT. Catch 22. I hope our general staff are sharp, not on the golf course or planning the kitchen extension, or their politican career most the time. That can be our downfall.
