  • 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.

Preparation was crammed between an election in May earlier that year, and the publication of a comprehensive spending review in the autumn – a period of time also defined by the negotiation, formation and initiation of the first UK peacetime coalition government in generations. Whilst it is fair to recall that both Whitehall and Westminster had been preparing for a defence review for at least eighteen months prior to the election, there is little doubt that the impression left by the SDSR in particular was of a process that was short-term in nature, rushed, and undertaken without full regard to all of the forces, factors and variables that coagulate to form defence and security capability.
