I think it will be a challenging tour especially with a lot of change happening in Helmand at the moment. We’re looking to partner the ANA which is the long-term goal. Preparation has been hard and there’s been a lot of investment in training for Afghans. Kit and equipment is something we are not short of – the media idea that we are ill-equipped is an absolute load of rubbish.


We asked troops from 4 Brigade how their pre-deployment training had gone and for their thoughts on the influx of new kit
