Details

Understanding the Value of Defence: Towards a Defence Value Proposition for the UK presents the findings of a short study that was commissioned by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD)’s Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) to examine the ‘value proposition’ of UK defence.

The analysis it contains seeks to inform a better understanding of why defence exists and explore how the direct and indirect value that defence brings to the nation (e.g. in terms of security, influence and prosperity) can be better articulated to audiences across both the UK government and the wider public.

Who should read this publication

The report will help the MOD in considering how to better explain why it exists, and what it contributes in value added, to different audiences across defence, across government, across society or outside the UK.
