This military ‘train and equip’ project aims to establish and strengthen the Lebanese Armed Forces’ (LAF) Land Border Regiments, and forms the largest part of the UK’s support programme to the LAF. With UK support, the LAF Land Border Regiments have been operational since 2013. They are charged with detecting, deterring, and disrupting border attacks against Lebanon, and gaining the trust of local border communities, along Lebanon’s border with Syria.
