Strategic Command 2021: Panel Three - Integrating with Allies and Partners

This Panel explores the third strand of integration, that of integrating with allies and partners. NATO is central to UK defence policy, hence the ability to integrate with the alliance at the strategic, operational and tactical level is crucial. Part of the bedrock of UK security and the most important bilateral relationship, the Panel will consider integration with the United States under the Biden Presidency. The Panel will also explore integration from the perspective of Sweden, a hugely important partner in the Joint Expeditionary Force that has carved a unique security path that engages its whole society and from which much can be learned.

Lt Gen Roly Walker, Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, Military Strategy and Operations UK MOD
