The Ministry of Defence does not routinely monitor whether those serving in foreign armed forces receiving training from the UK Armed Forces are UK citizens. The provision of any training to a foreign military is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The UK recognises the right of British nationals with additional nationalities to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of the country of their other nationalities.
