Recommendation 3

Paragraph: 22
Commit Ministry of Defence to updating Arctic defence strategy every five years.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Defence should commit to updating its Arctic defence strategy every five years, to reflect the strategic acceleration in the region and to bring it into line with the FCDO’s Arctic Strategy for the whole of Government, which is updated every five years. We hope that, before then, the Defence Command Paper will properly reflect the changed situation in the North Atlantic and the High North resulting from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
