The Integrated Review (IR) outlines the foreign policy and national security approach of the British Government to ensure we can meet the challenges of a changing world.
In November 2020, the Prime Minister announced the first outcome of the IR: the biggest programme of investment in defence since the end of the Cold War, increasing spending by £24-billion to radically modernise our armed forces and ensure you, our serving personnel, have the skills, equipment and support to meet these challenges.
This booklet includes the following:
- a high level summary of the Integrated Review and what it means for Service personnel
- how defence will meet new challenges set out in the IR and the opportunities these present to Service personnel
- a reminder of the core elements of the Integrated Operating Concept, published in 2020
- a reminder of the key objectives of the Defence People Strategy
- snapshots of the transformation programmes underway within the front line commands and the vision of each Service for its personnel
- a reminder of the unique nature of the offer for Service personnel and their families
- the ways defence supports Service personnel throughout their Service careers, as they leave service and as Veterans.
