The crews on board this strike group have already endured months at sea only to get their deployment extended. These exceptional Americans rogued up, all supported by their families, continue to stand the watch, taking the fight to the enemy.

We have been bolstering our UK military presence in the Middle East since January, and we have already deployed capabilities to protect British people and our allies in the region, including Typhoons, F-35 jets, air defence systems and an extra 400 personnel into Cyprus. Since the strikes began, we've had British jets in the sky shooting down drones and have sent additional assets to the region to further reinforce our air defences, including more Typhoons and Wildcat helicopters with drone busting missiles.
