answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>Currently the Ministry of Defence (MOD) provides 323 Military personnel in support of Common Security and Defence Policy military operations. The figures below are representative of the number of posts that the UK has filled since 2010. Where the UK fills a post in an EU mission on an enduring basis, individual personnel or units will rotate through the post, usually on a six month rotation. The number of individuals who have supported operations will therefore be higher.</p><p>EUTM Somalia This mission started in 2010. Since then the number of UK personnel allocated to it has varied between two and three. It will increase to four in early 2015 and reduce again to three in summer 2015. The UK has also provided 1 civilian advisor since 2013.</p><p>EUNAVFOR ATALANTA The MOD fills 65 posts, including the Commander, at the Mission Head Quarters in Northwood on an enduring basis and fills four posts in Djibouti. The UK also provided a ship to the mission in 2011 and again in 2013.</p><p>EUTM Mali Following the launch of the mission in early 2013 the UK military contribution peaked at 37 posts in late 2013 and has since decreased to 30 posts on an enduring basis. The UK also contributes a two person civilian training team.</p><p>EUFOR ALTHEA Since 2010 the UK has filled on an enduring basis between five and six staff officer posts, has provided an intermediate reserve of 120 personnel since 2012 and since July 2014 has provided a temporary uplift of 95 reconnaissance personnel (returning to the UK in December).</p><p>EUFOR CAR The UK provides one staff officer to the mission headquarters in Larissa, Greece.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 01/12/2014 16:05:04 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois previous answer version 29066 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
