We cannot do everything on our own, so we must work effectively with our allies and partners. We will build more versatile and agile forces for the future, and ensure our people have what they need to do what we ask of them.
We must adapt to stay ahead and shape our capability to address tomorrow’s threats, not yesterday’s. To do this we must meet a complex range of threats and challenges in a rapidly changing world. The Ministry of Defence ( MOD) is a central government department with a mission to protect our country and provide the ultimate guarantee of its security and independence, as well as helping to protect its values and interests abroad.
