Two people who’ve been hands on with past reviews, Lieutenant General Sir Nick Pope and Sitrep’s Professor Michael Clarke, explain what will be different about this one and the job that it has to do.
Sian Grzeszczyk-Melbourne has been talking to Defence ministers and gives us some insight into their thinking on accommodation problems and a new Armed Forces Commissioner, who’ll be an access-all-areas advocate for service personnel and families.
And one of the RAF’s first female fighter pilots, Mandy Hickson, tells us how dogfighting on two-wheels was the moment that made her.
Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.

Because the Police commissioners help so much ! A political outsider with no knowledge interferes sacking who they don’t like or media don’t agree too. Worked fine for hundreds of years
-
Defense Review = Another budget cut.
-
Really would be better with a still background That’s why nobody it watching
-
Surely they can't muck it up any more than they have in the past?
-
Because bureaucrats and Senior Officers can say this is what the experts told us to do, and can therefore deny accountability when something goes wrong or service men and women leave because of the changes??? MAYBE??
-
They should recruit people get them fit and then serve
-
We are these people from doing this review
-
Perhaps because they have no skin in the game, so can review objectively and independently? Less likely to get biased analysis? It vey much depends on who those 'experts' are I would think.

Kicking the can down the road yet again
-
Better not come down to a bunch of middle-managers who all wish they were at apple.
-
Another review that can just be ignored. Shameful.
-
🤔
-
Hopeful will lead to the dropping of the Tempest fighter project.
-
Defence review or "how to convince the public we are entering the EU ARMY"

No one wants to fight for trans madness
