The role of the domestic customerF as an ‘early adopter’ is also key to export sales. Hence, January’s long awaited publication of the NAO-audited Equipment Plan was eagerly anticipated. So what does it and the related NAO commentary tell us? First, it records that, pre-SDSR, the Coalition and the timescales for the introduction of Government faced a £74 billion deficit in the new capability. Equally, it provides a stark 10-year defence budget as a whole, of which reminder of the significance of support a significant proportion lay in the Equipment solutions and the need to continue the forensic Programme. Secondly, it confirms that, over 10 search for economies. But, the document years, the MOD expects to spend £159 billion does not provide specific guidance. To take on equipment and its support.

    UK Chief of the Air Staff Makes Introductory Visit to Singapore 09 Oct 2018 Chief of the Air Staff of the Royal Air Force Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Sir Stephen Hillier reviewing a Guard of Honour at the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF). The Chief of the Air Staff of the Royal Air Force Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Sir Stephen Hillier called on Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen this morning. During their meeting, Dr Ng and ACM Hillier reaffirmed the long-standing bilateral defence relationship and discussed efforts to enhance cooperation in areas of mutual interest. This builds on the positive bilateral defence relations following the signing of the UK-Singapore Defence 1 Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (DCMOU) by Dr Ng and UK Secretary of State for Defence Gavin Williamson on the sidelines of the 17th Shangri-La Dialogue in June 2018. The DCMOU captures existing bilateral defence relations and cooperation, as well as provides a foundation for future defence cooperation in areas of mutual interest. Prior to the meeting with Dr Ng, ACM Hillier also called on Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Melvyn Ong and Chief of Air Force Major-General Mervyn Tan, and reviewed a Guard of Honour at the Ministry of Defence. ACM Hillier is on his introductory visit to Singapore from 7 to 9 October 2018.

    RAF News Brief 2019/2 Organisation Operational Service Medal In 2017, Her Majesty The Queen agreed the introduction of a new Operational Service Medal (OSM) for Op SHADER. In February 2019, Her Majesty The Queen graciously approved an extension of the medal without clasp for personnel assessed as making a significant and direct operational contribution, but outside the joint operational area for Op SHADER. Under new rules, personnel from all three services serving from outside the traditional area of operations, such as operators of RAF Reaper Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) aircraft, can now receive the Op SHADER medal without clasp. The award of the medal reflects the changing nature of modern conflict and recognises the vital contribution that personnel working from outside the operational area of Iraq and Syria have made to the campaign. This will be the first time that RPAS crews have received formal medallic recognition. Ground crew serving at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where UK airstrikes over Iraq and Syria are launched from are also eligible, as well as Army and Navy personnel providing logistic and communications support. Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, said: “I am delighted to see this wider recognition of the RAF’s vital contribution to Op SHADER. Under the previous criteria, only about 14% of RAF personnel who had supported Op SHADER were entitled to receive the OSM. Under the new criteria, that proportion rises to over two-thirds. I extend my personal thanks and congratulations to all those who will now receive the OSM for their outstanding Op SHADER contribution.” Update on Defence Estate Optimisation Programme The MOD published an update to the Defence Estate Optimisation Programme in March 2019, setting new information for 33 military sites across the UK.
