In June 2010 after a tour running Kandahar Airfield (NATO) in Afghanistan Malcolm has returned to the UK and has been appointed the Strategic Defence and Security Review's (SDSR) Defence Issues Team Leader.
What is the SDSR?
Prior to the general election, both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats committed to undertaking a strategic defence review should they form the next government.
That Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) was subsequently announced shortly after the new Coalition Government took office in May 2010. In contrast to the previous SDR of 1998, this review will be broader in its scope, cross departmental and be overseen by the newly formed National Security Council. It will also stand alongside a new National Security Strategy.
