As one of NATO's leading European Allies, the UK makes substantial contributions to NATO's enhanced Vigilance Activity. This includes Typhoon Fast Jets policing routes in Poland and Romania and several ships supporting NATO Maritime Groups in the High North and Mediterranean. The UK is also the framework nation for the enhanced Forward Presence, recently doubling our numbers there and also training alongside the US in Bulgaria.

NATO is actively considering its future force posture in the run up to the leaders' summit in Madrid in July.
