UK preparing for 'transition to war': Armed forces chief reveals new national readiness plan​

According to Knighton, the UK is updating its Government War Book, a strategic blueprint not actively maintained since the Cold War, in a 'modern context, with a modern society, with modern infrastructure.' He said lessons from that era had been lost over 30 years of relative peace and needed to be relearned.

The updated strategy aims to coordinate the military, police, hospitals, and private industry. The goal is to ensure that the machinery of the state does not grind to a halt in the face of an existential threat. Knighton emphasised that the modern era requires a whole-of-nation approach to national readiness.

Be surpised if we see a new civil defence programme. Defence is a priority to voters here, and Britain is in the process of rearming, but I don't think there's the political will for proper swiss-style nuclear war contigency planning.
