Major General Andrew Roe has thanked personnel at the Defence Academy for the successful delivery of this year’s Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme (AFPS) visit.
The annual visit gives peers and Members of Parliament (MPs) the opportunity to gain insight into life in the armed forces, allowing them to develop deeper understandings of current defence and military issues.
Major General Roe said:
The programme included talks from senior leaders and subject matter experts, a tour of the Defence College for Military Capability Integration, an introduction to defence cyber and the opportunity to get hands-on experience of wargaming and small arms on the live firing range.
Based at Shrivenham, the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom provides higher education for personnel in the British armed forces, Civil Service, other government departments and international service personnel.
