RRX Commonwealth Defense Policy
RRX is conducting preliminary research of next generation
British Commonwealth
defense policy.
Joint defense operations kindly contributed by members of the Commonwealth
might be quite advantageous in the 2020 to 2100 range, and beyond.
Clearly well
planned and equipped joint actions might reduce the financial and human
resource load on all participants, while increasing overall effectiveness remarkably.
As it seems likely that while a generally peaceful context may prevail in
the 2020 to 2100 plus range one might expect troublesome issues to be dealt
with in an effective and humanitarian manner, more efficiently than is possible
with current arrangements by an integrated joint Commonwealth defense response
system.
If one arbitrarily assumes one percent of GDP for all Commonwealth
members is contributed, and similarly in the order of one percent of population
as trained emergency response, and peacekeeping forces, overall one might
expect humanitarian response performance to be considerably enhanced for all
stakeholders.
