The main points are: i. Following formal consultation with the Trades Unions and Defence Police Federation, it has been decided that MGS and MDP complements will be withdrawn from these sites, with guarding responsibilities transferring to the MPGS, or in some cases Regular Service personnel. A list of the sites affected is attached. The new arrangements will continue to provide effective security at all these sites. ii. I cannot yet say when the transfer will happen at each and every site. These announcements will be made locally at individual establishments once a detailed plan has been agreed for that site. Now that the overall decision has been taken, my staff are working closely with colleagues in the MGS, MDP, MPGS and TLBs to finalise and communicate those plans as quickly as possible. iii. Formal consultation is continuing on other aspects of guarding and policing change. Once this process is complete (which again I am trying to achieve as quickly as possible – hopefully within the next month) it will confirm the opportunities available elsewhere in MoD for MGS and MDP colleagues affected by the FLC decision.

  • Bustard Report Latest
    From Salisbury Plain to Singapore OPERATION NIGHTINGALE - Barrow Clump, Salisbury Plain AD 900 1897 1941 1977 2015 MILITARY ARTEFACTS - FINDS REPORT Mark Khan - SPTA Conservation Group Introduction Operation Nightingale is a programme that uses archaeology to help with the rehabilitation of injured service personnel. An Operation Nightingale took place at ancient burial mound, known as Barrow Clump on Salisbury Plain. One of 306 scheduled monuments on MOD land within Salisbury Plain, Barrow Clump was on the English Heritage 'Heritage at Risk' list due to extensive burrowing by badgers. The badgers were burrowing into the site and unearthing human remains and burial relics. The project was carried out by THE RIFLES - CARE FOR CASUALTIES Charity with the support of, The Defence Infra-structure Organisation (DIO), Wessex Archaeology, English Heritage and volunteers, to excavate the site and document the remains and preserve them, before rebuilding the cemetery mound. The project was recognised as a ground-breaking archaeology project of special merit by The British Archaeological Awards 2012. This report details a cross section of finds discovered during the project, that relate to the military usage of Barrow Clump. The finds mirror the use of Salisbury Plain as a military training area from the beginning of its use to the current day. They relate not only To the tactical military use the site, but also link to the stories of individuals who trained on Salisbury Plain, with some very surprising results. OP NIGHTINGALE Artefact - 1896 Dated 7mm Mauser Cartridge Case Britain's connection with the 7mm cartridge began with the Boer War. Large quantities of rifles and ammunition came into British possession at the cessation of hostilities.
