UK personnel destroyed Al-Borak rockets on two occasions in Iraq during 2006. On each occasion some 10 UK personnel were involved in the destruction and the subsequent survey to confirm that no explosive or chemical contamination remained in the area. In addition, UK personnel transported the munitions to the site and provided perimeter security.
