On the evening of Saturday the 10th of October, UK soldiers arrived in Sarajevo to take part in the upcoming Exercise Quick Response 15. Arriving in a Royal Air Force C-17 aircraft, light vehicles were also transported for use during the training. Also taking part in Exercise Quick Response 15 are Slovakian troops, alongside the Austrian, Turkish and Hungarian soldiers that are part of EUFOR’s permanent soldiers, the Multinational Battalion. EUFOR has 21 nations working within it currently in all areas ranging from Logistics to Aviation.
Exercise Quick Response 15
Exercise Quick Response 15 is an annual Peace Support Operations training exercise between the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina and EUFOR. The UK soldiers are part of the EUFOR Intermediate Reserve, an additional number of soldiers that has the capability to support EUFOR at short notice. Although the Intermediate Reserve regularly takes part in exercises such as this one, it has never been required in an operational situation.
