Coronavirus: Everything the Military Is Doing to Fight COVID-19 Coronavirus: Everything The Military Is Doing To Fight COVID-19 The Armed Forces have been playing a leading role in the UK's response to the coronavirus pandemic. 1st May 2020 at 5:30pm As more NHS Nightingale hospitals and mobile testing sites have become operational, UK Armed Forces continue to play a key role in the UK's response to the coronavirus pandemic. There are 20,000 military personnel on standby as part of the 'COVID Support Force', with 3,256 personnel currently deployed to assist with 92 open military aid to the civil authorities (MACA) requests. A total of 1,500 troops are currently involved in carrying out coronavirus testing across the UK. As requested by a number of you here is what the British military has been doing in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. You will be pleased to see it is Tri-Service, as some of you have requested. I have attached some up to date photos, as well. UK Coronavirus: Personnel Run New Mobile Testing Units Across UK 27th April 2020 Supporting the NHS Nightingale Hospitals A major focus of the military's work has been on assisting the NHS. Personnel have helped to set up Nightingale hospitals around the country, which provide additional care capacity for coronavirus patients. • The first was in London, at the site of the city's ExCeL centre. • A similar facility opened at the NEC in Birmingham. • A hospital at Manchester Central Convention Complex, formerly known as the GMEX, opened after being set up with the help of military personnel. • The British Army helped convert Glasgow's SEC Centre into a temporary NHS hospital. • Army veteran Captain Tom Moore, who has raised more than £32 million for NHS Charities Together, officially opened NHS Yorkshire and The Humber via video link. These recently opened sites will also benefit from the military's largest medical deployment amid the pandemic. • The Earl of Wessex opened NHS Nightingale Hospital Bristol. • Nearly 300 personnel are being deployed to the two facilities, in Yorkshire and Bristol. One hundred and thirty five military medical personnel will be assisting NHS staff, helping with basic patient care and monitoring. A further 160 personnel will help with more "general duties", including porterage, equipment maintenance, stores management and distribution services. UK Bristol's NHS Nightingale Hospital Officially Opens 27th April 2020 Mobile testing • Military personnel have started operating mobile coronavirus testing units. Forty-two drive- through sites are now open, with 17 mobile sites operational. • British Army soldiers and Royal Marines have been operating facilities across the country, as well as personnel training to operate the pop-up sites. Ninety-six mobile sites are now operational. • British military personnel will be involved in 92 of the 96 mobile coronavirus testing units by early May, the Government says. • Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced this evening that 122,347 tests coronavirus were carried out in the 24 hours up to 9am on Friday. Supporting ambulance services • Nearly 200 Armed Forces personnel from the COVID Support Force are being mobilised to support ambulance services across the country. • Members of the British Army, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy will support NHS ambulance services as they face increased pressure. • Elsewhere, more than 100 tri-service personnel have trained to drive oxygen tankers in support of the NHS, if required. They are likely to respond to emergencies and be asked to drive ambulances when required. • Training • Royal Marines have gone through specialist training to help the fight against COVID-19, getting them ready to deploy across the south-west of England to support frontline workers. • Troops from 247 Gurkha Signal Squadron, part of 16th Signal Regiment have spent 10 days training with pharmacists on how to conduct COVID-19 testing at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. Thirty-two military personnel are helping the fight against coronavirus by providing testing for NHS staff. • Similar programmes are taking place in Manchester and Glasgow, meaning the military is helping more frontline health workers get tested.

Delivery of PPE • Regular and reservist personnel, from all three services, have been helping to distribute delivering personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline NHS staff. The PPE includes items such as masks, safety glasses, gloves, aprons and protective suits. They are stationed at seven distributions centres across the country, delivering to hundreds of NHS locations. • The British Army has teamed up with eBay to help healthcare workers find and order free personal protective equipment (PPE). • Royal Air Force aircraft have picked up personal protective equipment (PPE) for the NHS from Turkey. • During the Easter weekend, 250,000 items of PPE for medical staff were delivered to RAF Brize Norton ready to be distributed across the UK. • Alongside distributing supplies to medical personnel during the pandemic, the military have been 3D printing PPE components. Engineers from the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and the Army began producing the components following an appeal from 3DCrowd UK, a volunteer organisation crowdsourcing 3D printer owners to help produce protective equipment. Increasing medical capacity • The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has also set aside "dozens" of specialist military planners to support public services, authorities and emergency services on a local level. • Forty Scots Guards soldiers have been deployed to help provide 200 extra beds for coronavirus patients on the Isle of Wight, at St Mary’s Hospital. • Meanwhile, RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire could be used as a temporary mortuary as the number of people to die from coronavirus in the UK continues to rise. • Scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), Porton Down are helping deal with the spread of the coronavirus. "DSTL is providing hazard assessment, microbiological testing and operational analysis support to Government," the Ministry of Defence (MOD) said in a statement. • A £1 million fund to "fast-track innovation" and help the Armed Forces in the fight against coronavirus was launched by the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA). It aims to discover an "idea or novel approach" that could boost the Ministry of Defence's capabilities amid the coronavirus outbreak or other similar future threats, DASA said. Tackling fake news • The Ministry of Defence has sent a team to support the Cabinet Office in tackling online misinformation - part of the COVID Support Force effort in bolstering the UK's coronavirus defences. The group will help to identify and tackle fake online news about the pandemic and will set its sights on an increasing number of fraudulent phishing scams. • In addition, two experts from the British Army have joined a NATO team set up to combat disinformation during the pandemic. Wales Military Help Develop NHS Field Hospital At Cardiff's Principality Stadium 9th April 2020 Evacuation, transportation and repatriation • Royal Navy helicopters based at RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall are to be used as air ambulances for the NHS. Three Merlin Mk2 helicopters and their crews from 820 Naval Air Squadron have been set aside for the task, providing assistance to the NHS and South Western Ambulance Service. The aircraft will also be used as transporters, moving both supplies and personnel. • Meanwhile, Royal Air Force helicopters are also supporting the NHS. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) said they are there to help with "medical transports", as well as general support including the movement of personnel and equipment. • Three RAF Puma helicopters deployed to Kinloss Barracks in Scotland to work alongside a Chinook and Wildcat helicopter, based at RAF Leeming, North Yorkshire, are to meet NHS requests in northern England and Scotland.

  • Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF)
    Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF) Introduction to CAE’s MSHATF The Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF) was developed by CAE in partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence. Responsible for the design, construction and financing of the facility that opened in 1999, CAE operates the MSHATF under a 40-year private finance initiative (PFI) contract. CAE’s MSHATF is delivering the total spectrum of synthetic aircrew training demanded by the UK Joint Helicopter Command Support Helicopter Force. The turnkey training program includes academic classroom training and simulator training delivered by experienced instructors. The MSHATF is equipped with six full-mission simulators configured for CH-47 Chinook, AW101 Merlin and Puma helicopters. Under the terms of its PFI contract, CAE also has the ability to provide turnkey training to third-party users. This enables approved military and civil operators across the globe to take advantage of the advanced simulation, training and mission rehearsal capability at the MSHATF on a highly cost-effective basis. Other NATO nations and wider alliances also regard the MSHATF as part of their normal training regime. For example, Royal Netherlands Air Force Chinook crews routinely train alongside their Royal Air Force (RAF) counterparts before operational deployments. In addition, Royal Navy crews operating the UK Merlin and other operators of the AW101 helicopter such as the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Danish Air Force, and Portuguese Air Force use the advanced Merlin simulators for a range of training applications, including battlefield and search and rescue (SAR) roles. The MSHATF also offers Puma helicopter training where the customer base includes the RAF and several Middle Eastern customers.

RAF Brize Norton Airspace Change Proposal Consultation Feedback Report Document Details Reference Description Document Title RAF Brize Norton Airspace Change Proposal Consultation Feedback Report Document Ref 70751 064 Issue Issue 1 Date 3rd October 2018 Issue Amendment Date Issue 1 3rd October 2018 RAF Brize Norton Airspace Change Proposal | Document Details ii 70751 064 | Issue 1 Executive Summary RAF Brize Norton (BZN) would like to extend thanks to all the organisations and individuals that took the time to participate and provide feedback to the Public Consultation held between 15th December 2017 and 5th April 2018. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is the Sponsor of a proposed change to the current arrangements and procedures in the immediate airspace surrounding the airport. As the airport operators, and operators of the current Class D Controlled Airspace (CAS), RAF Brize Norton is managing this process on behalf of the MOD. If approved, the proposed change will provide enhanced protection to aircraft on the critical stages of flight in departure and final approach, and will provide connectivity between the RAF Brize Norton Control Zone (CTR) and the UK Airways network. In addition, the Airspace Change will deliver new Instrument Flight Procedures (IFP) utilising Satellite Based Navigation which will futureproof the procedures used at the Station. As part of the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) Guidance on the Application of the Airspace Change Process (Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 725) [Reference 1], BZN is required to submit a case to the CAA to justify its proposed Airspace Change, and to undertake consultation with all relevant stakeholders.
