Berlin : The British government has officially announced that it will withdraw one-third of its 22,500-strong military force based in Germany, news reports said Thursday.
An unidentified British army spokeswoman located in the west German city of Moenchengladbach said German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung was also informed of London’s decision.
As part of the British plans which were announced last September, some 15,000 British troops will remain at the three military bases in Germany.
Britain’s deployment in Germany is one of the biggest overseas force.
