UK Defence Staff in US

More than allies—we're partners shaping a secure future. UK exchange officer, Lt Jake Robertson is back in the US after 9-months aboard @USSHARRYSTRUMAN flying @USNavy F-18s. His deployment was preparation for future 🇬🇧-🇺🇸 operations where split-second coordination saves lives.

This year, NYC Fleet Week once again featured the 🇬🇧🇺🇸 special relationship, summed up perfectly in Lt. Commander O’Connell. Our two navies are linked in so many ways, keeping both countries secure and strong @UKdefUS

Now is the time to step up and force Putin to the negotiating table. UK Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP at today’s Ukraine Defence Contact Group: @POTUS Trump has "started the clock on the 50-day deadline for Putin to agree to peace or face crippling economic sanctions.”

Double trouble... 🇬🇧🇺🇸 The #RoyalNavy's UK Carrier Strike Group with @HMSPWLS at its heart has been operating alongside the USS George Washington Carrier Strike Group in the Timor Sea as the largest ever military exercise in Australia continues. ➡️royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/july…

Happy Fourth of July to our American friends and allies! No two countries do more together, and we will always work side-by-side to make the world a safer place. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

The UK and the US are the closest of allies, working side by side - around 2,000 British military personnel and their families are based in the US. Today is UK #ArmedForcesDay, a chance to thank our military service personnel for all they do to make the world safer.

Proud to honour our Armed Forces community 🇬🇧 The Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP is at the national Armed Forces Day event in Cleethorpes today, celebrating with Service personnel and veterans. #ArmedForcesDay 🎊

In a major boost for national security, the UK will purchase 12 new F-35A fighter jets. Supporting highly skilled jobs and opportunities for working people and delivering a defence dividend across the country.

In an era of global uncertainty, we can no longer take peace for granted. My government is investing in our national security by purchasing 12 new F-35A fighter jets, supporting thousands of high-skilled jobs and opportunities for working people. Secure at home, strong abroad.

The UK's Royal Naval Attaché to the US, Commodore @RogerReadwinUK, reflects on the Battle of Bunker Hill and the UK-US military relationship. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸 #ArmedForcesWeek @UKdefUS

A brilliant way- in the lead-up to America’s 250th birthday- to honour a figure that means so much to the history of our two countries. Fantastic to join Ambassador Mandelson and other distinguished guests for the rededication of George Washington’s statue in Trafalgar Square.

Happy birthday to our closest ally and friends at the @USArmy
