How Afghanistan shapes today’s Armed Forces | Sitrep podcast
114It’s 10 years since British troops left Helmand and combat operations came to an end. But the conflict reshaped the forces in ways that can still be seen today.
The next war is expected to involve tanks and trenches not seen in Helmand, so from equipment to military mindsets Sitrep assesses what is helpful to still have, what is a hinderance, and what gaps may exist.
150,000 British personnel served in Afghanistan. A handful of those veterans tell us how that experience shapes their lives today.
And Invictus medalist Jonny Ball talks to Sitrep about his new mission to create a community for all veterans of British operations in Afghanistan.
Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.
