Oliver JJ Lane<\/a> – January 12, 2021<\/p>\n Less than seven years after British Eurosceptics were laughed at for expressing concerns about a coming European Union army, the bloc has revealed the official uniform of its new \u2018standing corps\u2019, as the first of 10,000 recruits prepare to deploy to the field.<\/p>\n Frontex, the European Union\u2019s combined border force and coastguard, revealed the new uniform in a social media post on Monday, showing off the navy uniform complete with EU-flag identification patches and military side cap. The force said: \u201cFor the first time, the European Union has its own uniformed service \u2013 the European Border and Coast Guard standing corps.\u201d<\/p>\n Previously, officers seconded to Frontex from national forces denoted their new role by wearing an armband<\/a> with a symbol of the European political project \u2014 a ring of gold stars on blue \u2014 on their right arm.<\/p>\n The \u201ctroops\u201d of Frontex in their own European uniforms comes less than seven years after Brexiteers were told they believed a \u201cdangerous fantasy<\/a>\u201d for saying the European Union was moving towards having its own armed forces \u2014 of which the paramilitary Frontex is the first phase.<\/p>\n The so-called standing corps recruited its first inductees during 2019, who were sent to academies in Poland for training.
