Britain to keep army presence in Germany after BrexitBirmingham (United Kingdom) - Britain will keep a small army presence in Germany after it leaves the European Union, despite a planned drawdown of forces abroad, the defence secretary said on yesterday. But a full withdrawal of troops from Germany has touched a political nerve in Britain, and the government has been forced to review those plans. The defence ministry said it would keep around 185 army personnel and 60 defence ministry civilians in Germany once all the other units leave. "We will not close our facilities in Germany," Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson told an annual conference of the ruling Conservative Party. "Instead, we'll keep them open and forward base army units there."
