Synopsis

In his lecture to RUSI, Field Marshal Bramall shared his thoughts on the changing face of conflict. Drawing on his unique personal experience of soldiering at every level, dating from his service in the Second World War, he considered how warfare has changed. More importantly, he also reminded us of the lessons we should have been drawing from that and will offer guidance for the future with regards to strategy and execution.   Field Marshal the Lord Bramall of Bushfield KG GCB OBE MC is a British Army officer who served as Chief of the General Staff between 1979 and 1982.
