It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

    ROYAL MILITARY POLICE OLD COMRADES LINK UP NEWSLETTER #157 JULY 2020 YOUR CORRESPONDENCE Continuing from last month here are more Publicity Stories. First up is another one from Cyprus under the heading of, “Hoylake Military Policeman on Duty in Cyprus”. According to Gilbert and Sullivan: “A policeman’s lot is not a happy one”. A policeman who would disagree with that is Staff Sergeant Alastair MacKinnon (33) who is serving with the Royal Military Police at Dhekelia in eastern Cyprus. Alastair would be the first one to admit that service on a Mediterranean island makes his lot a happy one indeed! Alastair’s mother lives at (address withheld) Hoylake, Cheshire. Before he joined the army in 1955 he pounded the beat as a police constable in Edinburgh, he is now a highly trained military policeman with specialist qualifications in special investigation and clerical matters, at present he is NCO in charge of his unit’s charge and reports section. He was promoted to his present rank in November 71. Aaistair chose the army as a career to follow in his father’s footsteps, the late Mr MacKinnon served as a captain with the Royal Military Police. Military police duties in Cyprus include everything from crime detection and prevention to VIP escort duties and ammunition guards - all over a ‘beat’ much bigger than you would find in any town or city. On the advantage side there is the beautiful island with one of the best climates in the world. Alastair’s home is less than a mile away from the blue Mediterranean.
