Ministry of Defence Policy permits the use of military vehicles by UK allies in accordance with local law and agreements in place. Policy and Regulatory requirements must be met such as, entitlement, the appropriate licence, are trained and are familiar with the vehicle.

The UK support our allies based forward at RAF Akrotiri; however, they do not use any UK Military Vehicles during Operations or Exercises. For this activity, our Allies utilise vehicles which they own, or lease.
