Join Harry Moffitt as he talks with Dr's Deane-Peter Baker, Roger Herbert, and David Whetham about their new book The Ethics of Special Ops: Raids, Recoveries, Reconnaissance, and Rebels.

In response, these three distinguished scholars have written a compelling book, looking at how we might learn the lessons of this time. In this broad ranging discussion, Harry, Deane, Roger, and David cover many related topics, including the ethics of war fighting and why it matters, how to prepare soldiers for the moral challenges of the battlefield, and some of the techniques they use in training and development, including The King's College London Centre for Military Ethics Playing Cards, found at http://www.militaryethics.uk/en/playing-cards .

From dodging bullets to becoming an executive senior leader of Defence, Phil Holdcroft knows a thing or two about leadership and teamwork. Phil is a decorated combat pilot with a 20-year military career that culminated in designing and delivering the senior leadership programme at the UK Defence Academy. Drawing on life-lessons and experience, he created the ultimate playbook for leadership, resilience and high performance. And that's what we discuss on the podcast today.Now officially a veteran (and he's younger than me!), Phil is continuing to pursue his life's purpose, having founded High Performance Journey, helping others to conquer their Big Hairy Audacious Goals.Join us to find out...what resilience is really about how to reverse being unprepared in leadership rolesthe power of purpose (and how to find it)how the 'grandad test' can measure shared visionhow adversity allows us to growhow increasing diversity reduces blind spotsPhil shares his very moving story that proved pivotal in how he engages with others. What has been your 'a-ha' experience that caused you to question your practice? Or are you still sitting comfortably? More about Phil:A twenty year first career in the Royal Air Force spanned from leading missions on the battlefield as a helicopter pilot, through to senior leadership roles, designing and delivering strategy for Defence.Phil's journey took an unexpected turn in 2014 when his youngest daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia. Helplessly sitting on the side-lines led to an epiphany. Phil realised his passion for endurance sports could be channeled towards raising critical funds for the miracle workers who saved her life. A near-impossible series of extreme challenges followed, culminating in a 3,000-mile unsupported row across the Atlantic Ocean.Now a military veteran, Phil has set up 'The High Performance Journey' to pursue his passion for equipping others with the knowledge, skills and mindset for high performance.Links to contact Phil:LinkedIn: Phil HoldcroftWebsite: www.thehpj.comResources & ReferencesWatch this episode on YouTubeLeadership & Manager Labs (itstimeforchange.co.uk)13 Skills to Build Resilience (itstimeforchange.co.uk)Future Ready by Experimentation – with Gemma Ellison - It's Time for Change (itstimeforchange.co.uk)Transcending Leadership - It's Time for Change (itstimeforchange.co.uk)'Peak Performance' by Brad Stulberg & Steve Magness (amazon.co.uk)'The Obstacle is the Way' by Ryan Holiday (amazon.co.uk)Contact details for Lisa LLoyd:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lisapsychologyWebsite: www.itstimeforchange.co.ukSign up to be kept in the loop:

Calls to treat as legitimate the ‘security concerns' raised by Russia, and to account for these in a future settlement of the war in Ukraine, disregard the fact that Moscow's requirements are fundamentally incompatible with European security. Proponents of a settlement in the war on Ukraine often put forward the idea that Russian ‘security concerns' must be taken into account in any such settlement, but also in broader revisions to the European security system. These proposals echo the Russian information campaign over the past 30 years to persuade European publics that there can be ‘no security in Europe without Russia'. They provide false support to the argument that Western security policy after the collapse of the USSR unnecessarily encroached on core Russian interests by expanding NATO and forcing Moscow to militarize its foreign policy. In this telling, Russia was merely challenging what it viewed as an unjust European security order. ---------- SPEAKER: Keir Giles is a senior consulting fellow with the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House.

If risk management underpins everything we do in the security industry, why is the delivery of high level training so underserved? And why are the requisite skills not valued more by all practitioners? We're joined by Dr David Rubens, founder and executive director of the ISRM (Institute of Strategic Risk Management), as well as MD and CEO of Deltar Training Solutions.  On today's episode, we're going to explore what the the professionalization of risk management means to protective services and why it's relevant. We'll also be asking… Is there's a shortage of risk management skills within the industry and why? Why are there not more compelling arguments for acquiring recognised risk management qualifications earlier in a career?  For operators wondering where to spend their CPD budget? Is risk management something that is going to have immediate returns or do the rewards come later into your career? Should RM Training be incorporated into the basic training modules of executive and close protection?  What is the ISRM doing to address the skills shortage and plug the gaps? Today's episode is very much for anyone looking for longevity in the industry. If you value professionalisation and are prepared to invest in yourself, this one's for you. And as David reminds us... “Qualifications don't get you a job. But not having qualifications will stop you getting a job when you get to a certain level.” More about David: Dr. David Rubens DSyRM, CSyP, FSyI is a leading authority on the strategic management of complex operations in crisis environments.

Recorded: 10/05/2018 Speaker: Benjamin W. D. Redding, University of Warwick Abstract: Between the 20th and 30th of August 1546, Claude d’Annebault, Admiral of France, visited London as an honorary ambassador following the signing of the Treaty of Ardres. After a major French naval invasion attempt in the previous year, it was appropriate that d’Annebault’s entrance via the Thames was planned to include a ceremonial presentation of England’s naval resources. Bio: Dr Redding defended his doctoral thesis at the University of Warwick in March 2017. The project assessed the relationship between navy and state in the early modern period and argued that naval advances should always be considered within their broader international context. His article ‘English Naval Expansion under the French Threat, 1556-64’ was published in November 2016 in the International Journal of Maritime History. Current research interests include the role of visual culture in early modern naval developments and a reassessment of the fall of Calais in January 1558. ____________________________________ This event is being hosted by the Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War. ____________________________________ Upcoming events: "An incomparable influence upon every shore: Conceptions of naval power and world order on the eve of the Great War" On the eve of WWI, what alliances formed between France, Britain, and the United States? Between 1890 and 1914, strategic thinkers and policy makers in Britain, France, and the US engaged in debates over the prospect of war, the role of maritime power, and the maintenance of peace. These arguments explored the importance of co-operation in the international system and produced rudimentary ideas about collective security. Join Louis Halewood, DPhil student at Merton College, for his lecture on the conception of naval power and world order between 1890 and 1914. His lecture will take place on 24 May at 5:15 pm on KCL's Strand Campus. "The New Era of Counterforce" Nuclear deterrence rests on the survivability of nuclear arsenals. For much of the nuclear age, “counterforce” disarming attacks—those aimed at eliminating an opponent’s nuclear forces—were nearly impossible because of the ability of potential victims to hide and protect their weapons. Technological developments, however, are eroding this foundation of nuclear deterrence. Join Keir Lieber, Director for the Center for Science and Security Studies at Georgetown University, for this discussion on the 31 of May at 12:30 pm on KCL's Strand Campus. "Wargaming Future Conflict between NATO and Russia" On the 31 of May at 3:30 pm on KCL's Strand Campus, The Centre for Science and Security Studies at King’s College London will present the results of two unclassified strategic gaming events held at the UK Defence Academy in May 2017 and February 2018. These games, originally intended to examine missile defense and nuclear risks, pose urgent analytical and policy questions about deterrence and defense in a new era of major power strategic competition.

Since the end of the Cold War, American military superiority has been an undeniable fact.  But this superpower dominance is not the norm in world affairs.  With the rise of China as a ‘peer rival’ of the US, are we seeing a return to a more contested ‘business as usual’ ? And if we are, what are the implications? In this podcast, Pod Academy’s Craig Barfoot speaks to Dr Ian Speller, co author of Understanding Modern Warfare (Cambridge University Press 2008, £25.99) about various developments in naval capability, and in particular the naval aspects of China’s resurgence.  China is expanding its navy, and although Washington sees this as a threat, the Chinese themselves say any developing country would want to build up its sea power (given that historically threats to China have come from the seas,  it is perhaps understandable that they would feel this way). But for now, the US navy fleet has greater capability than all the rest of the world’s fleets put together.  This fleet is deployed in international waters as ‘protector of the global commons’, and it is not uncommon for fleets from different nations to meet and acknowledge each other in international waters.  But as global politics, and economic power, evolve and change – how long will this situation continue? Dr Ian Speller is a Lecturer in the Department of History at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. He also lectures in defence studies at the Irish Defence Forces Military College and in maritime strategy at the UK Defence Academy and at the National Maritime College of Ireland. He is the author of The Role of Amphibious Warfare in British Defence Policy, 1945-56 (2001) and the editor of The Royal Navy and Maritime Power in the Twentieth Century (2005).
