"Ah this old chestnut came up in the early years of Bosnia and I seem to recall the duty rumour response from the government was along the lines of "the British Armed Forces are not mercenaries and as such only allowance in line with UK guidelines will be paid to them" or some such waffle."
So....... the Government can screw us to EU rules when it suits them and ignore them when it errrr would benefit the people on the ground.
