How often do you work with other nations' militaries, and what's that experience like?

    Thanks for your question. The answers from my experience have been very often and great.

    I have worked with American, Iraqi, Nigerian, Argentinian and Hungarian soldiers, just to name a few. The experience was always very positive. Soldiers have an awful lot in common so you get on well talking about your shared experiences.

    Very frequently when you go on exercise or operations, you will be working with other nations, either countries you are training with or countries you are delivering training to.

    There are also lots of exchange roles in Defence where members of other nations come and work with us, or we work with them, so you often see other nations represented in UK bases.

    Hope that helps.
