At the time of writing (Christmas 2002) it is difficult to decide what to include in this months insight? Preparations are underway for the deployment of more British and American forces to the Gulf region as UN weapons inspectors search fruitlessly for Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. It is difficult to see where this will all end as more and more military hardware is massed around the borders of Iraq and the rhetoric between each side becomes more and more belligerent. Obviously our own armed forces are carrying out what is known as 'prudent planning' and contingency preparations.' In order that should the government elect to use force against Iraq our service personnel will be ready to carry out any task assigned to them. These preparations are of course veiled in secrecy although most of the broadsheet newspapers are trying desperately to get their fingers on the MoD pulse! This secrecy is of course sensible and precludes me naming units that are provisionally nominated for possible deployment. should these units be publicly named by the MoD then rest assured MIS will take a close look at them and any others contained in the operational Orbat.
