IHUB office also in a circular layout consisting of the IMXWO, ISO and two ISAs. Within the same space, you have the G1 Pers Ops and on to the far end is the Brigade SPS Branch team consisting of the VWO1, VWO2 and the SO2 SPS. As with everything, nothing is permanent in life and such, the SPS Branch have moved spaces twice already and have the feeling that there will be another office move again in the not too distant future.
Charity Begins at Home The headquarters welcomes initiatives and allows personnel to grow and challenge themselves. Amongst the highlights Staff Sergeant now Warrant Officer Class 2 Fulton organised a 24-hour bike challenge to raise money for a local nursery and with the support of other garrison units managed to raise over £2,000. On a separate occasion, I managed to raise money for an organisation bereavement Charity by completing a 10k swim challenge and raised just over £500 to help improve the care bereaved parents receive across the UK. All I can say is that the HQ is such a caring environment where everyone is embraced and supported to follow their dreams.

quickly learned to be highly adaptable and to be comfortable being placed in extremely fast paced situations, often at no to little notice.
Deployments 101 Op Sust Bde’s role and purpose is to sustain 3(UK) Division and enable combined arms Divisional manoeuvre. As part of our extensive training and awareness of the important role of Information Management both in barracks and operations, Warrant Officer Class 1 Silvester and the detachment conducted a presentation on best practises on Information Hub and Information Management to garrison units. This was very informative and equipped participants with relevant and practical knowledge to take with them to their respective units. Over the last few months, the Headquarters managed to deploy on Ex IRON VIPER and most recently Op LONDON BRIDGE, both which were very successful; currently we are proactively preparing to go on Ex CERBRUS, Ex WAR FIGHTER and Op INTERLINK. It is never a dull moment as you are tested both on and off the field. Regardless of the task, we have
Days out of the Office
As we work hard; it is important to play hard. The detachment is a strong cohesive team and as such we place significant effort to enjoy some down time, participate in adventure training and things out of the office. Staff Sergeant Shivashanker Tamang excelled at Orienteering and won various individual and group Championships awards. The detachment also enjoyed some water sports at Lake Heron. To top it off, both Lance Corporal Obi and I enjoyed providing support at Wimbledon by stewarding the All-England Lawn Tennis Championships 2022. The detachment also went on a visit to HMS Naval Base Queen Elizabeth and had a view of how the Navy operate on and off operations. As if that was not enough, the detachment not only had a team competing at the Triple Crown but also enjoyed some great skiing on Ex WHITE LION.
In summary, it has been a very busy and productive year for the detachment. However, some well-deserved fun was had. Both organisational and personal goals were achieved. We look towards the future with an open mind and with great optimism.
