Hundreds of British Army vehicles will return to Germany after the latest Tory U-turn.
The Conservatives had planned to bring all 20,000 UK troops home from Germany by 2020 under the £1.8billion Army Basing programme.
But that plan was shelved amid growing tensions with Russia.
Today it emerged tanks, fighting vehicles and other equipment will go back to the country, with existing numbers of vehicles bolstered.
A NATO base in Sennelager will become a new station for a land regional hub, along with sites in Kenya and Oman.
The bases will mean British soldiers can be ready to deploy quickly “should it be required”, according to Commander Field Army, Lieutenant General Ralph Wooddisse.
