To mark Armed Forces Week 2024, the Armed Forces Day flag has been raised at a training camp in Shropshire.

The flag has been raised by Landmarc Support Services and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) at the Nesscliffe Training Camp.

The flag raising shows the two organisations' thanks and respect to all those serving in the Armed Forces.

This flag-raising ceremony occurs annually at Defence Training Estate (DTE) sites throughout the UK, and is watched by both troops and civilians.

This year, the organisations want to extend a special thank you to full-time serving and reservist troops, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, veterans and their families, by proudly displaying the Armed Forces Day flag at military training sites across the UK.

Landmarc works in partnership with the DIO to provide essential support services to the Armed Forces.

This enables them to live, work, and train on the UK Defence Training Estate.

Earlier in 2024, Landmarc's commitment to Armed Forces communities was acknowledged as it re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant and had its Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award revalidated.

Mark Neill, managing director at Landmarc, said: "Having worked so closely with the Armed Forces for more than two decades, over 25 per cent of our team now come from a military background.

"We therefore work hard to make Landmarc a good employer for transitioning service personnel, veterans and their families, pledging to treat them fairly and with respect in recognition of the loyalty and service that they have given to our country.

"As a veteran myself, I know first-hand how important Armed Forces Week is for improving morale across our military communities and we are proud to show our support for our troops during this special week."

Brigadier Hatcher, DIO’s head of overseas and training region, added: "Armed Forces Week is a chance to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets.

"Together with our colleagues at Landmarc we are proud to come together and raise the flag at sites across the country in support of our Armed Forces."
