<p>The UK has a longstanding and enduring commitment to the Baltic Sea Region with
a significant presence most notably within Estonia. The UK plays a leading role in
NATO's Deterrence and Defence strategy by providing the Framework Headquarters and
Battlegroup of around 850 personnel in Estonia. This capable force is augmented by
an annual rotation of Apache Attack helicopters and Wildcat Lynx multirole helicopters.
The UK contributes to the NATO air policing mission and our long-term commitment will
see forces deployed in Estonia in 2019 and 2022, Lithuania in 2020 and Romania in
2021. The UK led Joint Expeditionary Force (Maritime) deployment to the Baltic Sea
Region over 20 May - 12 July demonstrates the UK's focus upon the Baltic Sea, North
Atlantic and High North regions as we integrate partnering nations' capabilities</p>
