British Army Training Unit Kenya

Outside the Unites Kingdoms, the largest number of UK Armed Forces deployments are currently training or on operations in Africa. The UK has deployed many short-term military training teams to help build the capacity of national military forces, ensuring several states across Africa can respond appropriately and proportionally to the security threats they face, including.

• Tackling terrorism

• Illegal wildlife trade

• Violations of human rights

• Emerging humanitarian crises

• Peacekeeping in Africa

BATUK is a permanent training support unit based mainly in Nanyuki, but with a small element in Nairobi. BATUK provides demanding training to exercising units preparing to deploy on operations or assume high-readiness tasks.
