142Award-winning Sitrep brings you discussion and analysis on defence, foreign policy and the stories affecting the British forces, presented by Kate Gerbeau.

Germany already leads NATO's multi-national battlegroup in Lithuania, as the UK does in Estonia, as part of NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence.
Sebastian Schulte, a defence analyst and a German navy reserve officer, told Sitrep Germany’s decision could play both ways.
