'Good strategic foundation' provided by Defence Command Paper - expert
305A defence industry analyst believes that the Defence Command Paper Refresh (DCP23) does provide a "good strategic foundation" for the three services to go on and build their own offers in the autumn.
Nicholas Drummond, a former British Army Officer, who has worked in the defence industry for 20 years, told Forces News: "A lot of people were expecting more detail than was provided, it is a little bit disappointing in that department."
He added: "However, it does provide a good strategic foundation on which the three services will build their offers in the autumn, and we're expecting the Army to release a future soldier next steps paper, which will provide the detail on force structure and key equipment programmes."
