Supplementary Information: Annex A Defence in the Public Eye Annex B Accountability to Parliament Annex C Trading Funds Performance Annex D Fraud Annex E Sustainability Annex F Statement of Approved Maximum Armed Forces Numbers 5 Part One – Annual Report Foreword by Secretary of State for Defence The Ministry of Defence exists to keep the United Kingdom safe and protect our national interests overseas. As the Secretary of State for Defence, my top priority is ensuring the success of our Armed Forces on operations and our readiness to respond in an increasingly dangerous world. The actions of ISIL pose a direct threat to the safety of the British people and it is in our national interest that the UK is playing a full part in the global coalition to dismantle and destroy this terrorist organisation using all the resources at our disposal. The House of Commons last year gave its overwhelming backing to our Armed Forces helping the Government of Iraq to protect civilians and restore its territorial integrity, including the use of UK air strikes against ISIL in Iraq. This strong support for specific and specialist UK military help to the Iraqi Government, as part of a wider international strategy, marked a clear contrast with the decision taken in 2013 in relation to Syria. That widespread backing underpins the excellent work of our Armed Forces in helping Iraqis in the fight against ISIL. Beyond Iraq, Britain has been able to play an active role across the world because we have a £34 billion a year defence budget. That means we can respond quickly and at scale to events: sending our flagship, HMS Bulwark, to the Mediterranean, where it has rescued more than two thousand people in operations off Italy; having RAF Typhoon aircraft patrol over the Baltic against Russian provocation; and providing disaster relief to Nepal, using RAF aircraft to transport humanitarian aid and deploying British Army Gurkhas in direct support roles on the ground. At the end of 2014, the UK’s involvement in combat operations in Afghanistan came to an end. I pay tribute to the 453 UK Service personnel who lost their lives and to those who have suffered serious injury throughout this campaign. The sacrifice of our servicemen and women has helped to prevent terrorist attacks in the UK and has brought greater stability to Afghanistan. The UK is continuing to support the people of Afghanistan through institutional development, including helping train the leaders of tomorrow via our role in the Afghan National Army Academy. In meeting the needs of Future Force 2020, we are continuing to invest in the best equipment for our forces; the equipment plan will continue to grow by 1% above inflation every year. HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of our two new aircraft carriers, was launched last summer and last autumn we placed the biggest contract for the Army in 30 years for 589 Scout armoured vehicles, which will provide a step-change in capability for the Army. In December, Typhoon tranche 3 was

  • The Limited Capacity of Management to Rescue UK Defence Policy: a Review and a Word of Caution

    The Limited Capacity of Management to Rescue UK Defence Policy: a Review and a Word of Caution

    The limited capacity of management to rescue UK defence policy: a review and a word of caution TREVOR TAYLOR* The three dimensions of defence In terms of press coverage and political debate, the story of British defence since the end of the Cold War has been marked by three themes: policy (direction and review), management (shortcomings and initiatives), and military opera- tions, although academic studies and courses tend to neglect the management domain.1 In principle, these three elements should be closely linked, with policy defining the evolving state of the world and constraining the direction of the country’s military response, management delivering the leadership, organiza- tion and coordination to build the forces to enable the policy to be implemented, and military operations being undertaken in line with the policy guidance and management preparations made. In practice, however, there have been significant disjunctions between the operations mounted and the policy and management. Military operations launched since 1990 have all been something of a surprise, most of them requiring significant extra funding to be obtained through Urgent Operational Requirements (UORs) to enhance and modify British capabilities before the operations could begin. The concept of Force Elements at Readiness (FE@R), the key output of the mainstream defence budget, came to be recognized in the MoD as of only limited utility unless consideration of the specific attributes of a particular adversary, the physical environment of the envisaged operation and the contribution of allies were also included in the equation. Also, in some cases a policy decision associated with specific changes in military posture was significantly undermined or even contradicted by events.

    Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices

    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1

    Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1

    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

    NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016

    NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016 An essential Alliance in a more dangerous world The Warsaw Summit comes at a defining moment for the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. In recent years, the world has become more volatile and dangerous with Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and destabilisation of eastern Ukraine, as well as its military build-up from the Barents Sea to the Baltic, and from the Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean; turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa, fuelling the biggest migrant and refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two; brutal attacks by ISIL and other terrorist groups, as well as cyber attacks, nuclear proliferation and ballistic missile threats. NATO is adapting to this changed security environment. It also remains committed to fulfilling its three core tasks: collective defence, crisis management and cooperative security. And, in the Polish capital, the Alliance will make important decisions to boost security in and around Europe, based on two key pillars: protecting its citizens through modern deterrence and defence, and projecting stability beyond its borders. NATO member states form a unique community of values, committed to the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. In today’s dangerous world, transatlantic cooperation is needed more than ever. NATO embodies that cooperation, bringing to bear the strength and unity of North America and Europe. This Summit is the first to be hosted in Poland and the first to be chaired by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who took up his post in October 2014.
