At its core, the MoD oversees the command and deployment of Britain's elite armed forces - the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. From peacekeeping missions and counterterrorism operations to humanitarian aid and disaster relief efforts, these highly trained troops uphold the UK's security commitments worldwide.
Procurement forms another key responsibility, with the MoD managing multi-billion pound programs to equip the military with cutting-edge assets like fighter jets, warships, armoured vehicles and cybersecurity capabilities. Major contracts with domestic and international defence contractors frequently make headlines.
On the policy front, the MoD crafts strategies and initiatives addressing the full spectrum of modern warfare - from conventional state threats and asymmetric combatants to space, cyber and information domains. International alliances like NATO also factor heavily into Britain's defence posture and global footprint.
With over 200,000 military and civilian personnel, the MoD is one of the UK's largest employers. Its activities have wide-ranging impacts on regional economies, manufacturing sectors, technological research and the nation's soft power influence.
