A British Army team has arrived in Somalia as part of a United Nations mission to counter Islamist militants, the BBC reported.
An advance party of about 10 soldiers from Force Troop Command, 1 Div and Field Army training will support African Union peacekeeping efforts against the al-Shabab group.
About 70 personnel will eventually be in Somalia carrying out medical, logistical and engineering duties.
Around 300 troops will also be deployed to the conflict in South Sudan.
Al-Shabab - the Islamist militant group allied to al-Qaeda - is battling Somalia's government for control of the country.
