As part of Operation GRITROCK, the British Army provided support for the government of Sierra Leone in the face of a severe outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa. In 2014 and 2015, the Army planned, designed and constructed treatment centres and undertook an extensive programme of training in Sierra Leone.

Brigadier Andrew Hughes, commander of 11th Infantry Brigade described the unit's role in Sierra Leone, '11th Infantry Brigade has provided a command and control capability both nationally and across the districts, which wasn't present before. We took a chaotic situation and have slowly injected a form of order by the implementation of appropriate mechanisms, which have also helped to bring the disease under control.' The unit's black bull insignia can be seen on the flag flying in the background.
