All ranks are encouraged to read it and follow the links to dip into areas of particular interest.
It can be hard to keep pace with the amount of change going on and with everything the Army is doing around the world. This newsletter together with a new Army Core Script enables us all to speak with a more unified voice wherever we serve in the Army.
