Brits kit out for their Afghan surge

As required by the government, the UK MoD announced they have their required equipment for the upcoming surge in Afghanistan.

As well as the availability of equipment, Mr Brown said in October that Britain's Nato allies must agree to send more troops to share the burden, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai must also commit to train more local forces to fight alongside Western soldiers.
The UK's armed forces have the vehicles and equipment needed to commit 500 more personnel to Afghanistan, Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth has said.
A ministerial committee is expected to be told by the chief of the defence staff that kit supplies are adequate.
This was one of three conditions Gordon Brown said must be met before he would send more troops. He will say if the others have been met later this week.
