0:07 UK Defence Doctrine describes

0:09 the changing character of warfare

0:11 and how we respond to current challenges

0:13 facing the UK and our allies.

0:15 It sets out the fundamental principles by which

0:18 military force is employed and explains its utility.

0:21 It is relevant for all those working in or with

0:24 UK Defence.

0:26 Looking forward, Defence needs to be:

0:29 more strategic by adopting a longer-term approach;

0:32 more assertive by confronting threats early;

0:35 and increasingly integrated.

0:37 Integrated across the five operational domains:

0:42 maritime, land, air, space and cyber and electromagnetic.

0:51 Integrated across the three levels of operations:

0:54 strategic, operational and tactical.

1:00 Integrated nationally, across government, academia and society.

1:04 And integrated internationally with our allies and partners,

1:07 particularly NATO.

1:11 UK Defence Doctrine introduces integrated action as the third tenet

1:15 of UK joint doctrine, alongside the manoeuvrist approach and mission command;

1:20 explains the evolution and contemporary relevance of the principles of war;

1:24 connects the utility of the military instrument with ideas from the Integrated Operating Concept;

1:30 and sets out the need for Defence to contribute more actively to deterrence.
