Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton has outlined plans to revive and modernise the UK's wartime readiness framework, warning that every sector of British society, from local police forces to the industrial supply chain, must be prepared for the possibility of major conflict.
Knighton, head of the armed forces, made the remarks at the London Defence Conference on Friday, 10 April, citing the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran as part of the broader security context driving the shift.
