Taken from another list

Mobility air forces are often on the front line, delivering
lifesaving medical support, food and relief supplies to people across
the globe.
Through events such as Rodeo, countries not only share their expertise,
but also build life-long relationships."

Ten countries plan to send teams to compete in airlift, tanker, security
forces, aeromedical, aerial port and maintenance events.
Competitors are from the United States, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, the
Netherlands, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turkey andUnited
Arab Emirates.

Vietnam joins 24 other nations sending observers including Algeria,
Argentina, Australia, Botswana, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark,
Finland, Greece, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Nigeria, Oman, Peru, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Tunisia, Ukraine and
the United Kingdom.

Rodeo's roots began in 1962 as a combat skills competition designed to
develop and improve techniques/procedures while enhancing air mobility
operations, and promoting esprit de corps

How is it we only get to observe and not participate? Are we so short of staff and kit?

Without wishing to appear flippant, David, the answer to your second question can be found spread throughout this board. UK Armed Forces are close to being maxed-out at the mo. Well, at least those parts that might have been able to participate.

This just proves it and shows the world. Shame on those responsible.
