<p>The Global Defence Network (GDN) currently provides a cross-defence capability
in British diplomatic missions around the world and a service for international defence
engagement to all Ministry of Defence commands. The transfer of responsibility for
GDN to UK Strategic Command is expected to deliver better integration between Defence
sections and the other parts of Defence's global footprint held in the command, including
overseas bases, global hubs, specialist liaison officers and loan service staff.</p><p>The
transfer gives UK Strategic Command an opportunity to better coordinate and expand
the regional and cultural expertise provided by the GDN, as well as a capability to
develop further a trained and experienced defence diplomacy cadre drawn from the three
single Services. The move also allows the GDN to leverage all the resources available
to UK Strategic Command to better prepare and support Defence Attachés and Loan Service
colleagues working alongside our Allies and International partners.</p>
