On July 9th, an official flag hoisting ceremony of the United Kingdom National Flag took place at the NATO Rapid Deployable Corps- Spain (NRDC-ESP) Headquarters premises on the occasion of the arrival of the first British representative to the staff.

United Kingdom took part as a contributing nation of the NRDC-ESP from the very beginning when the Headquarters was created in 2002. The first representative of the United Kingdom joined NATO Rapid Deployable Corps Spain in 2002, serving in the staff until June 2009, when the British contingent left Headquarters with the lowering of the flag on June 25th 2009.

Last year, during the plenary conference held within this Headquarters, the United Kingdom announced its intention of coming back to the NRDC-ESP. To mark its return, the United Kingdom flag was hoisted to join the other 9 flags of NRDC-ESP as a new contributing nation last Monday.

Spain as a Framework Nation is supporting the evolution and development of NRDC-ESP HQ by utilizing and enhancing Allied participation to keep the highest level of commitment to NATO.
