Servicemen and women have been playing a key role in the UK’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

At the height of the crisis, 20,000 military personnel were on standby as part of the Covid Support Force (CSF).

Thousands were deployed on Operation Rescript each day to support the civil authorities and the NHS.
