Op Kipion???
Has anyone heard of this Op. Talking to a mate yesterday, he was of the opinion that Op Kipion was the new name for Op Telic which finishes in May this year. Anyone know anything different.
Also, does anyone know if the RLC has any bods left serving in Iraq at the moment??

Op KIPION - BFPOs 632, 639, 643, 684, 767
Op TELIC - BFPOs 632, 639, 643, 684 & 767
Think that answers it, well half of it.We trained hard - but it seemed every time we were beginning to form up into teams we were reorganised.
I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising, and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while actually producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation.

Given that the BFPOs will be staffed by RLC posties, you have answered all of it.

BFPO 684 is the British Embassy in Baghdad and there are no posties there. Nor are there any in Umm Qasr at the NTM-I. Can't think of any other post's in Iraq that will be staffed by Brits or RLC. Maybe i'm wrong though!

OP KIPION will reflect that the SoFA with the Iraqi Government ceases sometime soon (01 May 11?), as a result the 2 operations the RN (and wider UK Forces) have been working under - OP TELIC, north of 29N inside the Arabian Gulf and OP CALASH - everywhere else with CJOs JOA, have been collapsed into one.

A BFPO number doesn't guarantee the presence of a Postie. Originally Posted by shiny_arrse
