The UK and Netherlands get lucky? A regular exercise is held at that moment? With other nations holding exercises it gives the Bundeswehr some cover.
I am more concerned with "Sept 15 - British 4th Armoured Division formed at Salisbury." The 4th was a permanent BAOR fixture and based in Germany throughout the Cold war. It should not need to be formed again back in the UK.
Now 2nd Armoured Division being formed from 2nd Infantry would make a lot more sense.
