Britain’s Armed Forces go into 2026 with two big missions, become war-ready and transform for a high-tech future.

There’s also the possibility of being deployed to Ukraine, if and when the fighting ends, and as always responding to unexpected events.

Retired General Sir Richard Barrons, one of the authors of the Strategic Defence Review, explains the tasks, challenges, and events that will face servicemen and women in 2026.
