Our Euro-Atlantic Unit explores how the United Kingdom can enhance defence and security in its home theatre, working alongside allies and partners in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, Joint Expeditionary Force, and through bilateral relationships.
Its research focuses on Britain’s defence and deterrence posture in its priority theatre, as identified in the National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence Review of 2025.
