Around 730 British Army vehicles have been loaded onto cargo ships, ready to be transported to Romania for NATO’s first deployment of the Allied Reaction Force. Roughly 2,500 soldiers will accompany them to the Eastern European country.

The vehicles left from the Sea Mounting Center in Marchwood, Hampshire, ahead of Exercise Steadfast Dart 25.

NATO vehicles and troops will travel by sea, road, rail, and air over 2,300 km to and from Romania to test the Alliance’s ability to deploy under pressure. The purpose of the exercise is to practice a major deployment of land, sea, and air forces across Europe and to demonstrate NATO’s ability to mobilize rapidly throughout the continent.
