Defence Studies Vol 6 No 1, March 2006, pp.73-96 (105)Summary: Study of what is meant, primarily in the U.K. context, by defence transformation. Makes comparisons with the experiences of other armed forces and finds that Britain is constrained by lack of understanding of the need to fund change "up-front" and by lack of staff dedicated to the change process. Military career paths result in lack of continuity, and military personnel tend to reach high office via successful field commands rather than through the "business" areas where transformation is conceived and implemented. Suggests how these problems might be overcome.
