520			_aThis study is the insight to be gained by comparing the evolution of two defence organisations that had similar origins in 1940s but have developed in different ways. The great difference in scale between the US and UK armed forces invalidates any comparisons between the two defence departments. The comparative studies of defence organisations can fulfill a number of useful purposes.
