Abstract
Given the uncertain nature of today's and future military operations, one of the key requirements must be for a truly effective rapid response capability. There has, however, been a reluctance to come to terms with all that this entails. Here Sir Thomas Boyd‐Carpenter ad dresses the question of how to tackle some of the constraints on building such a capability—political, planning and military. He discusses ways of improving in these areas in particular highlighting, the role of training. The long‐term challenge he identifies for making significant strides in rapid deployment lies in a careful assessment of doctrine, structures and capabilities across the board.
