SDSR 2010, the currently active document, has already been archived off the gov.uk website. It can be found here.
http://webarchive.nationalarchives.g.../dg_191634.pdf

Our Armed Forces – admired across the world – have been overstretched, deployed too often without
appropriate planning, with the wrong equipment, in the wrong numbers and without a clear strategy.
From the foreword, signed by the PM/DPM.

Does the document then list the threats to the UK's interests?
No
On what basis can a clear strategy therefore be formed?
It can't.
And how could Ministers do this when, by their own admission..
Ministers 'didn't know Tornado from torpedo' over Afghan strategy - Telegraph

..and how well have the objectives been met anyway?
They haven't.

It's a cost-cutting exercise, and not a good one at that.
