The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 109 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, what progress he has made on establishing an enhanced Standing Joint Command.
Answered by Al Carns
Since the publication of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), the Standing Joint Command (SJC) has undertaken a series of workstreams to begin delivery against SDR intent. This includes the publication of a new operational framework, the delivery of a series of table-top exercise with Government partners and a review of future workforce requirements.
The work to establish an enhanced SJC remains ongoing but has already made tangible progress.
