    Defence Acquisition

    Defence acquisition Alex Wild and Elizabeth Oakes 17th May 2016 He efficient procurement of defence equipment has long been a challenge for British governments. It is an extremely complex process that is yet to be mastered with vast T sums of money invariably at stake – procurement and support of military equipment consumes around 40 per cent of annual defence cash expenditure1. In 2013-14 Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) spent £13.9bn buying and supporting military equipment2. With the House of Commons set to vote on the “Main Gate” decision to replace Trident in 2016, the government is set to embark on what will probably be the last major acquisition programme in the current round of the Royal Navy’s post-Cold War modernisation strategy. It’s crucial that the errors of the past are not repeated. Introduction There has been no shortage of reports from the likes of the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee on the subject of defence acquisition. By 2010 a £38bn gap had opened up between the equipment programme and the defence budget. £1.5bn was being lost annually due to poor skills and management, the failure to make strategic investment decisions due to blurred roles and accountabilities and delays to projects3. In 2008, the then Secretary of State for Defence, John Hutton, commissioned Bernard Gray to produce a review of defence acquisition. The findings were published in October 2009. The following criticisms of the procurement process were made4: 1 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 2 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 3 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 4 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 1 [email protected] Too many types of equipment are ordered for too large a range of tasks at too high a specification.

    Article publié dans « Bulletin & Mémoire de la Société Archéologique et Historique du Créonnais » L’Opération FRANKTON Par Jean-Claude DÉRANLOT Membre de Frankton Souvenir Membre du Club HEPAT (Histoire et Patrimoine, Arts et Techniques) Le présent texte est plus qu’un résumé de la conférence du 18 janvier 2020 à Salleboeuf, il reste cependant bien insuffisant pour raconter avec précision l’engagement remarquable de ces hommes qui croyaient en la Liberté, au point de sacrifier leur vie pour elle. La France occupée Afin de protéger la côte atlantique de toute tentative de débarquement, l’armée allemande occupe toute la bande côtière jusqu’à la frontière espagnole. HITLER était en outre persuadé que FRANCO serait un jour son allié, il fallait donc prévoir la possibilité de circuler librement de part et d’autre de cette frontière. Bordeaux se retrouve en zone occupée. En 1939 son port était le quatrième port français, avec douze kilomètres de quais, 157 000 mètres carrés de hangars, 572 000 mètres carrés de stockages, de docks flottants de 25 000 et 8000 tonnes, deux formes de radoubs de 105 et 152 mètres. Toutes les installations portuaires sont intactes. Les échanges commerciaux entre l’Allemagne et l’Extrême-Orient L’Allemagne nazie entretient des coopérations étroites avec l’Extrême-Orient, en particulier le Japon. Deux traités permettent d’utiliser la voie de communication la plus directe qui traverse la Sibérie : le pacte germano-soviétique du 23 août 1939 et le traité de neutralité entre l’URSS et le Japon d’avril 1941. Lorsqu’HITLER attaque l’URSS, le trafic était évalué à 460 000 tonnes de produits industriels et de matières premières.

    Patron Capital's Keith Breslauer Completes 85-Mile Paddle and 100

    13 December 2017 Patron Capital’s Keith Breslauer completes 85-mile paddle and 100-mile yomp in recreation of Operation Frankton Keith Breslauer, Managing Director at Patron Capital, the pan-European institutional investor focused on property backed investments, joined around 30 Royal Marines and a team from the Royal Navy, including injured war veterans from the Hasler Naval Service Recovery Centre as the only civilian in an 85-mile paddle up the Gironde estuary in France followed by a 100-mile yomp (slow run) to Ruffec, in a recreation of Operation Frankton - the heroic ‘Cockleshell Heroes’ raid - on its 75th anniversary. Sent on what was effectively a suicide mission, equipped with only the bare essentials of food, clothing and the all-important limpet mines, Operation Frankton saw ten Royal Marines commandos travel to the coast of France in the submarine HMS Tuna in December 1942. The plan was to paddle 85 miles up the Gironde estuary in their folding canoes (codenamed cockleshells) to attack enemy ships moored at the German-occupied French port of Bordeaux before making the 100-mile journey on foot to rendezvous with the French Resistance in Ruffec. The aim of the raid was to destroy blockade-running merchant ships with these mines, and six ships were seriously damaged. Only two of the ten men survived, with the rest falling victim to the freezing conditions or captured by the Germans. The event was the latest in a long-running charitable partnership between the Royal Marines Charity and Patron Capital. The RMC, Keith and Patron have worked extensively with the Hasler Naval Service Recovery Centre to help war veterans preparing to re-enter civilian life through donations to fund specialist equipment, respite breaks for them and their families at Patron-owned hotels, and introductions to source relevant internship and career opportunities.
