The UK will lead a new 'Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF)' when it is inaugurated in 2017 and will then participate on a rotational basis with other NATO allies, British Secretary of State for Defence Michael Fallon was reported as saying.
The UK will also send four of its advanced Eurofighter RAF Typhoon jets to participate in the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission this year.
"NATO’s credibility in the face of the security challenges we face depends on everyone playing their part," Fallon said.
