Australian nuclear engineering officers are already being trained in the UK and are joining the fleet.
I wonder if they will want places eventually on the ‘Perisher’ course for the new submarines, and also post other submariners to the RN for training? I doubt that they will opt for US for training as their system is very different from the RN as officers have to decide very early in their career which branch of the service that they wish to follow.
A very different resilience to the EPRR/JESIP/service-specific resilience units (eg NARU) I’m sure many would have read that as!
Not that I’d complain either way - to be honest, I think there could be a place for having a well-organised team of generic volunteers for EPRR resilience that could be drawn from CFAV/Staff Cadets as well it could any other group of society?

One interesting suggestion I did read on Reddit was that everyone in the forces should be getting UAV and C-UAS training as standard. Almost in the same way everyone needs a WHT. They are now so cheap and easily accessible, yet can completely change the battlefield. If everyone needs to learn how to safely handle a rifle and a pistol, then teach them the basics in flying a UAV too.
For most roles, it would be arguably more useful that knowing how to use a rifle…
Some very rudimentary C-UAS awareness has been included in IRT Mod. 1 for a few years now. Hopefully, it is being improved based on feedback from our Ukrainian friends.
I would probably think Air Marshall Alan Marshall.
Ive always been told by senior bods thats his Mrs that they would expect to be next in line
But would be a 2 rank jump
Next time around, I expect. Having seen her on you tube she appears very impressive. She commanded 2 Group and on the day they changed the hair regulations she was at Brize with a long ponytail.
He can’t make ACM, his initials are too funny as AM AM
Sounds like he should be a vehicle belong to the empire!
@admins could this be split into a CAS-> CDS thread?
Certain Facebook and Instagram groups aught to pay attention. There’s a few that, although generally are amusing, do a lot to undermine the view of our forces.
Al Carns has resigned too!
PPS for Defence Pamela Nash has also resigned tonight.
Rich has long been a very good communicator, as far back as when I worked with him 20 odd years ago.
Sec Minister Dan Jarvis appoint SecDef. Ex Para Rupert
I can’t believe anyone as credible as him would take this poisoned chalice, unless it came with a promise to find the funding needed.
Speculation that CDS may resign in protest over government policy.
