Additional Information:

Twenty-first Century Armed Forces: Agile, Useable, Relevant General Sir David Richards, designate Chief of the General Staff, outlined his vision of the future character of warfare for which the British Army should prepare. Training and equipping for conventional or unconventional warfare need no longer be distinct, for even state actors will increasingly seek more irregular means to prosecute war. Future war will continue to be a battle for the hearts and minds of the people, but the revolution in communications will transform the way this is fought.

Keynote Speech: General Sir Richard Dannatt As he prepares to step down from the post of Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt opened the RUSI Land Warfare Conference with a speech that did much outline the British Army’s analysis of recent conflicts and the lessons drawn for future conflict. In advance of a future Defence Review, he moved to quash speculation of inter-service rivalry and identified core areas of agreement in defence policy between the three services.
