Mea culpa - I should've checked exactly who could use it.
I was in the area today, so I called in to ask ... but nobody seems to be sure. - They seemed to think it was available to BFG - but when I said: "What about British Forces at SHAPE?" that caused confusion.
"British Forces on NATO assignments"- Which would include BFG, those at SHAPE and in Brussels (or anywhere else in mainland Europe) along with personnel assigned to (or just returned from) Afghanistan seemed to meet with approval, as did 'People on orders' (which is open to fairly broad interpretation.
)
I'll obtain clarification tomorrow and post the real answer (well, the real answer for that day) on this thread.
