	Eye on Iraq - Operation Telic
		Moreover, if prolonged it will subject the U.K. armed forces to a severe risk of overstretch, with British troops fulfilling commitments as far a field as Afghanistan, the Balkans and Northern Ireland, and some 19,000 military personnel currently providing emergency coverage for striking British firefighters.
		Even without such commitments, the deployment of such a large proportion of the U.K. armed forces to the Persian Gulf in anticipation of potential military action against Iraq is unlikely to be sustainable beyond three or four months, and may well necessitate a larger call up of British reservists than has hitherto been the case.
		Operation Telic, as the British Gulf build-up is codenamed (Telic meaning “expressing purpose”) will see the latest deployment of British troops join the 5,000 Royal Navy personnel already in the region or en route there, as well as the 4,000-strong amphibious force also on its way to the area.
