The UK provides military support to its NATO Allies in many ways, and the next 12 months will be no different. For example, in Estonia the UK will continue to be the Framework Nation for NATO's enhanced Forward Presence, with an 800-strong armoured battlegroup deployed there. We will also conduct Air Policing from Estonia and Iceland in 2019. In addition, UK forces will take part in range of exercises and training activities with their Estonian and Icelandic counterparts.
