<p>The future size and budget of each of the three Services will be reviewed as part
of the next Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) and the next Spending Review,
currently expected to take place in 2015. All three Services are focused on delivering
the Future Force 2020 vision set out in the last SDSR, published in 2010. The Chiefs
of Staff will be closely involved in any strategic decision which concerns both their
Service and Defence more broadly. The Department also conducts an annual financial
planning cycle (known as the Annual Budgeting Cycle) to ensure that plans remain aligned
with budgets; the Chiefs of Staff are an integral part of this activity.</p>
