Description
The current state of Professional Military Education in the United Kingdom is one of silos separating the different branches and their various academic partners. This is the case even though all of these institutions and the personnel who pass through them must go on to collectively contribute to national security and service in the British Armed Forces. Currently, each of the different Defence Colleges operates in isolation with their own approaches even though they all operate under the same diminishing defence budgets and source their students from the same populations. This panel aims to demonstrate the current state of PME in the UK, how the different colleges address shared issues and where possible how they deal with emergent problems within a changing defence environment.
