The U.K. released two national security related documents yesterday and today. The first is A Strong Britain in an Age of Uncertainty: The National Security Strategy and the second is A Strong Britain in an Age of Uncertainty: The Strategic Defence and Security Review. Issues include an 8% reduction in defense spending over four years, a personnel reduction in the Royal Air Force and Navy of 5,000 each, 7,000 in the British Army, and a civilian personnel reduction in the Ministry of Defence of 25,000. The Comprehensive Spending Review is set to be released tomorrow. BBC News has a good review of the major items.
