The Land Environment - Moving Towards 2018
Aug 2008, Vol. 153, No. 4
By Richard Dannatt
In the light of our experiences in this decade, so far, and in the anticipation of the future being equally challenging, this article seeks to give an indication as to the direction of travel for the British Army over the next ten years. This direction has been formulated following a very lively and spirited debate across the Army as to what the force of the future should look like, particularly after our experience on current operations. We have recognised in recent months that we are at (what we could call) a ‘Question Four Moment’ – that moment that occurs occasionally when the mission hasn’t changed, but the situation and circumstances around it have – and so a new plan is needed.
