Sharing intelligence and expertise with U.S.
In support of the security of both nations and our allies, the Ministry of Defence maintains a strong relationship with the US Department of Defense.
Honorable Ron Moultrie with General Sir Jim Hockenhull
Strategic Command, which leads on cyber activity for Defence, plays a key role in sustaining and advancing this relationship.
Recently UKStratCom hosted Honorable Ron Moultrie, U.S. Under Secretary for Intelligence and Security, during his visit to the UK for a series of engagements with Defence personnel.
Defence Intelligence facilitated a series of discussions between Hon Ron Moultrie and UK officials on the operational use of intelligence, including with newly appointed Chief of Defence Intelligence Adrian Bird CB.
Hon Moultrie also visited several Strategic Command sites to understand more about how the organisation uses digital capabilities and intelligence to benefit operations and military effectiveness.
Speaking on the visit, Commander Strategic Command General Sir Jim Hockenhull said
At Strategic Command our aims of accelerating the digitisation of Defence go hand in hand with the effective use of intelligence and data.
The U.S. is our foremost ally and partner in this area, and our working relationship in various domains, including cyber, helps to protect us from an array of threats.
