Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 14 sees Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) tested whilst it commands two divisional and one brigade headquarters from across Europe and North America. The exercise swells the 450-strong headquarters to close to 1000 personnel and is designed to ensure the Innsworth-based NATO headquarters is ready for any potential short-notice call-up it may receive in 2015.

I bet you're all wondering what are those barrels on the back? Well if this was any other nation it would be fuel but as this is Great Britain. One contains Fuel the other water for the tea kettle.
Okay I am kidding.... Well half kidding. Like all British tanks Challenger II does in fact have a Tea maker.

Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s have left Afghanistan and are heading back to the UK after more than five years of operations in the country.
The fast jets, from 31 Squadron based at RAF Marham, Norfolk, left Kandahar airfield early this morning having flown their final missions. Aircrew and ground crew from the squadron have provided vital support to NATO efforts in the country since they took over from RAF Harriers in June 2009.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: The Tornado remains the fast jet workhorse of the RAF and has performed superbly over many years in Afghanistan, supplying life saving intelligence and precision weapons in support of our mission there. The whole Tornado force should be proud or their work and I pay tribute to their professionalism.
