the largest of several Joint Service Signal Units, and as its name implies it

comprises personnel from all 3 UK and US Armed Forces, supported by

specialist civilian staff and contractors. However, the RAF and the Army

together make up most of the 500-strong complement. In carrying out its

mission, JSSU (D) operates both at home and on deployments overseas. In this

regard, the unit carries out its own military and specialist training which

81

ensures that individuals earmarked for such deployments are well prepared

and able to look after themselves in the field. JSSU (D) links with other
