Defence Board Civilianised (More or less) - merged
UK Government announces that the Sea, Land and Air chiefs of staff will no longer sit on the Defence Board. The only military man on the board will be Chief of Defence Staff (CDS). CDS is a political appointment and so the entire Defence Board will be made up of politicians and civil servants. Will this improve the already precarious position of the UK Defence Forces?
