This question was answered on 29th February 2016
NATO does not have an Ultra Rapid Reaction Corps. I believe the hon. Member is referring to NATO's Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (Land element), which the UK will lead in 2017. When not deployed, its assigned one-star Headquarters, 20 Brigade, will be based in Sennelager, Germany for the duration of this rotational commitment. In response to crisis, the headquarters would move to the most appropriate location.
