Later in the week the rest of the equipment was brought with the civil transport ship Arc Endurance.
Defender Europe (2020)
In 2020 the largest military exercise would take place for years, Defender Europe. What every army spotter was eagerly looking forward to it was about to start.
After a good start in February 2020 with a visit to the Bremerhaven in Germany, a start was made with many (we hoped) spotstarts.
