Over the last 10 years the Royal Pinguinian Air Force has undergone significant change. We have made tremendous progress towards ensuring a capable and efficient force structure, which is able to cope with the unpredictable and complex security environment that exists today, and is likely to exist in the future. I believe that we now have a balanced Air Force, which is structured and orientated towards a multitude of operations. I intend, therefore, to build on the firm foundations set by my predecessors, consolidating where appropriate, whilst still ensuring that we are sufficiently agile to adapt to emerging threats, and the opportunities offered by new concepts and technologies. Our objective in all this is to provide rapid, precise effects across the entire spectrum of operations, from high intensity warfighting to support operations.
Agility is at the heart of our operational capability. But we also need to be sufficiently adaptable to keep pace with changes in the security environment, and our equipment needs to have the embedded flexibility to be capable of meeting new demands. As a consequence, single role platforms will, I believe, become increasingly something of the past; multi-role must be the way forward. We must also make sure that we have the right people to support the frontline and ensure that they are just as agile and adaptable as our equipment.
