Britain's Prince Harry Will Deploy with Troops to Iraq
British military authorities say Prince Harry, the third in line to Britain's throne, will be deployed to Iraq with his military unit. A Defense Ministry announcement says the prince, a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals Regiment, will begin service in Iraq in the next few months as part of a British troop rotation.
The prince will become the latest member of Britain's royal family to see front-line action since his uncle, Prince Andrew the Duke of York, served as a helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands War. Prince Harry, formally known as Troop Commander Wales, has trained to lead 11 soldiers and four Scimitar tanks.
After graduating from Britain's Sandhurst Military Academy last year, the prince has repeatedly expressed his wish to accompany his regiment to Iraq.
英國軍方說，英國王位繼承人中排名第三的哈里王子將隨他所屬的部隊被部署到伊拉克。英國國防部一項聲明說，身為“藍軍騎兵團”少尉的哈里王子，將在幾個月后隨英軍部隊換防到伊拉克服役。
哈里王子將成為英國王室最新一名參與前線戰(zhàn)斗的成員。他的叔叔約克公爵安德魯王子曾在1982的?？颂m戰(zhàn)爭中擔任過直升機駕駛員。擁有“威爾士部隊司令”正式頭銜的哈里王子接受過指揮11個人和4輛彎刀式坦克的訓(xùn)練。
哈里王子去年從英國桑赫斯特皇家軍事學院畢業(yè)后多次表示希望和自己的部隊一起前往伊拉克。
