British and French paratroopers have been training to deploy together on operations around the world.
Colchester-based 16 Air Assault Brigade and the French 11 Brigade Parachute Regiment are involved in a fictitious scenario off the West Coast of Scotland, in case they have to deploy together at short notice on contingency operations.
