  • How a Piece of the Wall Ended up in Gloucester Page 10 COMARRC’S INTRODUCTION
    the Voice of Innsworth Station imjinAutumn 2019 West of berlin How a piece of the Wall ended up in Gloucester page 10 COMARRC’S INTRODUCTION Herewith the autumn edition of the imjin magazine. Returning from NATO service overseas, I was delighted to take the helm from General Tim Radford and plan to continue his work here. The focus in this edition is to celebrate our heritage with anniversaries stretching from the beaches of Normandy to the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is difficult not to be struck by the opportunities arising from service with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, Signals Brigade and those in Innsworth Station. Professionally we have an interesting, varied and suitably demanding training programme over the months ahead that will keep us sharp. The decision to make us the Corps Warfighting Headquarters for the next two years will drive our programme, the most immediate manifestation of which will be Exercise ‘ARRCADE FUSION’ in Cornwall this autumn. This will give purpose and, perhaps serendipitously, a degree of healthy specialisation. Concurrent experimentation is innovative and potentially transformational. Separately, the benefits are then relayed as training support from Estonia to Japan. It is an exciting prospect. On a more personal level, whether as an individual or family, opportunity abounds. The Cotswolds are on our doorstep and there is a wealth of opportunity in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, quite aside from the broader opportunities further afield in the United Kingdom. The ARRC International Club is well placed to help British and foreign families alike. We shall maintain an attractive series of trips to see the hardy perennials and more bespoke visits of specific interest.
