Defense Capabilities Sample Clauses

Defense Capabilities. The eminent British historian Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx once observed that, “capabilities lead to opportunities which lead to options and perhaps even intentions”. This aphorism should remind us that vision without resources is a fairy tale. Former Defense Secretary Xxxx framed the challenge for the United Kingdom when he observed that the first principle of British defense planning was to be interoperable with the US forces. Here both the US and the UK confront major budgetary choices. At the top of the list may be the future of the British independent nuclear deterrent. The UK has managed to maintain its nuclear forces and the ability to project significant conventional forces abroad even following the reductions in defense spending that occurred as part of the peace dividend at the end of the Cold War. In the aftermath of the 2005 elections the new Xxxxx government announced its intention to continue a British independent nuclear deterrent. Defense Secretary Xxxx Xxxx opened talks with the United States on a successor to Trident following the election. Xxxx appeared determined to maintain a British submarine-launched system as he frequently argued that it was “invisible and invulnerable”.19 This was an apparent shift from his predecessor who seemed willing to consider other less expensive options, such as ground or air- launched cruise missile systems. The full cost of developing the Trident replacement is estimated to be 25 billion to 35 billion dollars. So far at least Prime Minister Xxxxx and his defense minister, Des Brown appear supportive of this approach. This investment will make even marginal increases in the size and continued technological improvements in conventional forces increasingly difficult. If the Brown government continues this course the question remains whether or not there will there be sufficient funds to accomplish this task and support British conventional forces for global deployment? Obviously, this problem has become even more complex following the attacks in London and Glasgow that will likely demand renewed investments in homeland security. British strategic planners at a minimum must decide how to fund a modernized nuclear force, complete the construction of the two new aircraft carriers that the Xxxxx government began, reequip/refurbish British forces following extended deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, and insure adequate funds are available to recruit and retain professional military forces. Some have even suggested that t...
