Where to Next for the UK Response Force Task Group – with the British Foreign Secretary urging more involvement by the International community is Syria, shortly after the Chief of Defence Staff was quoted as saying that the MoD was making “very limited contingency plans” for military action. With the Cougar 12 Deployment about to culminate in seaborne landings in Turkey later this month, the UK could find itself very much in the front line of any intervention. The exercise off Turkey which will involve some 16,000 troops will involve forces from Canada, France, Holland, Sweden and the United States, so the UK Response Force Task Group will be in good company if deployed.
