3 DETROIT ARSENAL, Mich The United Kingdom was the first adversary of the United States, but in modern history they have become one of its closest allies. U.S. and U.K. forces have stood side-by-side in both World Wars and in many other conflicts since the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
Both countries strive to maintain their military alliance through close cooperation. One of those opportunities presented itself when Chris Bushell, Director General Land for the U.K. Ministry of Defence, visited the Detroit Arsenal to meet with U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command and their Detroit Arsenal partners to discuss business practices and organizational structure Apr. 13.
