Patrol in the streets of Brussels
After the Paris attacks in January 2015, Belgium deployed its soldiers in the cities of Belgium in the operation "Vigilant Guardian".

Patrolling a covered street in Brussels
Since the launch in January 2015, this has lasted until August 2021. If there is a risk of an attack now, the Belgian Army will be deployed with a methodology close to the UK's system, as we will see later in this article.

 
Brussels - Late November 2015
At these beginnings, this operation was considerably accentuated during the attacks in France on November 13, 2015 following the placing of a state of absolute emergency on the Brussels Agglomeration which experienced a total "Black Out" for 3 days at the end of November 2015.

The March 22, 2016 attacks in Brussels, at its airport and in its metro, also mobilized these forces.

Indeed, the risk of Belgian returnees (British men and women who left to fight alongside DAESH or ISIS, in Syria and Iraq, about 470 Belgians in 2015, and who would have returned to Belgian soil) is strong. The risk that they continue the ideological fight in their place of birth is very likely.

Similarly, the risk of a terrorist attack like in Bombay in 2008, which lasted two days, requires that a country be prepared for multiple attacks
in a city.

The fact that the Belgian army was mobilized in Belgium had never happened before.

Deployment of Belgian military
Indeed, the Belgian army has always been deployed outside the territory, in aid or training missions, but never to protect its own territory, except during the Second World War.

Searching pedestrians to support the Belgian police
The collaboration with the Police force was very present. The aim is to secure all sensitive places in Belgium,

The United Kingdom has an operation called "TEMPERER" which mobilizes more than 4,000 British military personnel when the "Critical" level, the highest level of alert, is reached. They come to support the police forces for a limited period of time just after the attacks, to counter the risk of multiple attacks on the British territory.
