10. Briefing: What is Operation Temperer?
When Theresa May raised the risk of a terror attack in the UK from "severe" to "critical", she set in motion the deployment of armed forces in a response known in Whitehall as Operation Temperer.
Introduced in 2015, Operation Temperer is a government security measure that allows up to 5,000 armed soldiers to be deployed on the streets to assist police in protecting against a terror attack.
The plan, which the Daily Telegraph says had been kept secret until it was accidentally leaked to a newspaper, means soldiers will take on the role of guarding sensitive locations, including railway stations, sports stadiums, entertainment venues and national landmarks. This will free up police resources, enabling armed police officers to watch other key sites.
