Here's an interesting find.
Many MOD publications are freely available via the direct.gov website, including a few
Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre papers.
I find this on interesting:
A Guide To Red Teaming
If you are leading, commanding or managing a planning, development, or acquisition activity then red teaming should be used.
Sound advice.
Defence products such as the Defence Reform Review, Future Character of Conflict, British Defence Doctrine and the 2010 Defence Green Paper were scrutinised and challenged using a strategic red teaming process known colloquially as the ‘concept test’.
No mention of the SDSR though! So is this an admission that certain parts of policy, such as scrapping the MPA capability with only a vague idea of regenerating it at some future date, or ignoring the advice from the Admirals and
scrapping the Harrier without first having worked out how skills would be retained and developed for the future (
still an unresolved issue), or opting to switch to F-35C and a CTOL future without investigating the issues, were not subject to critical review?
