Default What's the French army doing in Spain?

Just been driving up to Bilboa via the A23 and have past 1000s of military trucks, stopped at services were some had pulled up to find they were French. Now I don't speak French so i couldn't ask what's going on, so here I am asking.

I reckon they are heading south to the cost and crossing into Africa to bring more support against Boko haram or issues in Mali etc... Or they are evacuating France. What do reckon?

They're trying to escape the ramblings of the miserable Englishman that sometimes resides in France.

I've always wanted a chinchilla. I don't think the wife will agree to it if we need to take other europeans in too.

This is where SN wins over my failed attempts at googling.

The purpose of TRJE15 is to train and test the NATO Response Force, a high readiness and technologically advanced force comprising of land, air, maritime and special forces units capable of being deployed quickly on operations wherever needed.

So to surmise they ruck on down, prance about about showing off who has the biggest army, then buggers off home.

Meanwhile Putin doesn't bat an eyelid and opens a can of woop in Syria.



Bring plenty of dust...Chinchillas like washing in dust
