At the advent of the new millennium, the services that constitute the British armed forces had vastly different outlooks. Naturally, there was always some inter-service rivalry over budget and prominence. The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force were focused on the procurement of new platforms and adopting novel technologies to ensure their readiness.978 For the British Army, the situation was more diffuse. While the other services had been deployed to missions, the brunt of those had fallen on the Army. In particular, elements of the army had recently conducted stabilization and peace support operations in Northern Ireland (see section 5.2.2.1.) and the Balkans. However, another significant part of the army had largely fulfilled ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ duty in the “British Army of the Rhine “(BAOR) during the Cold War and beyond.

After the Cold War ended, a smaller British force remained in Germany.979 Thus the army combined in it two distinct strands of experiences: one of training for conventional war and another of conducting stabilization or peace support operations. By and large, the dominant strand in British Army culture was that of war fighting. Like other armies, the Army had to balance training for conventional war while deploying in peace operations.980 As ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ notes, the “warfighting ethos” is fundamental to British service members. Moreover, British officers are generally expected to demonstrate qualities associated with conventional combat such as initiative, decisiveness and offensive action. Not only are such elements central to officer education, but they are also prerequisite for promotion.981 Combined with the “Adaptive Foundational Training” th...
