The SDR sets out how a renewed focus on home defence and resilience is vital to modern deterrence. The delivery of this is being considered as part of the DIP, which will deliver the vision set out in the SDR, both in terms of the defence of the UK (including overseas territories) and our collective defence and deterrence through NATO.
