The Military Covenant states that in exchange for their military service and their willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice, soldiers should receive the nation’s support. Exploring the concept’s invention by the Army in the late 1990s, its migration to the civilian sphere from 2006 and its subsequent entrenchment in public policy, Ingham seeks to understand the Covenant’s progress from the esoteric confines of Army doctrine to national recognition. Drawing on interviews with senior commanders, policy-makers and representatives of Forces’ charities, this study highlights how the Army deployed the Military Covenant to convey the pressure on the institution caused by the concurrent combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. While achieving a better deal for soldiers whose sacrifice became all too apparent, the Military Covenant licensed unprecedented incursion into politics by senior commanders, enabling them to out-manoeuvre the Blair-Brown governments and to challenge the existing norms within Britain’s civil-military relationship. As British Forces prepare to leave Afghanistan, this study considers the value Britain accords to military service and whether civilian society will continue to uphold its Covenant with those who have served the nation.

There is nothing new about the military covenant, a freshly minted term for something that's been around for as long as soldiering itself. 'Tommy' may have to make the ultimate sacrifice for his country. But what will his country do for him? Over centuries the covenant has been variously honoured and ignored. Confronted daily with flag-draped coffins, shameful stories of inadequate kit and shocking images of the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan: what exactly are we doing to honour those who sacrifice all in the service of their country? In Tommy This an' Tommy That Andrew Murrison uses his perspective as a senior Service doctor and frontline politician to set the events of the past ten years in historical context. He charts the ways in which societal and political changes have impacted on the wellbeing of uniformed men and women, and the nation's changing sense of obligation towards the military. Crucially he asks what the future holds for the military covenant.

This thesis examines the genesis of the Military Covenant as part of the British Army's development of its Moral Component in the late 1990s, the migration of the concept from military doctrine from 2006 and its subsequent entrenchment in the civilian sphere, where it has become integral to analysis of the civil-military relationship. Codifying a moral bond of reciprocity between soldiers, the Army and the nation, the Military Covenant was summarised in a paragraph in Soldiering -The Military Covenant. Launched in 2000, this was a companion volume to another Army Doctrine publication, Values and Standards of the British Army. Written for the Army's senior cadre, and somewhat institutionally neglected, in 2005 Soldiering was subsumed into the Army's new capstone doctrine Land Operations. The Covenant began its migration from the military sphere in late 2006, when the newly-appointed Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt, invoked it in a controversial newspaper interview to convey the pressures confronting soldiers involved in concurrent combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, for which the Army was inadequately resourced, manned and equipped. Codifying the nation's moral and material support in exchange for soldiers' service and offer of sacrifice, the Military Covenant was subsequently described as fractured by many in the civilian sector, including the media. Following migration, the Covenant came to represent the bilateral relationship between the government and the Armed Forces' community, while helping to rally public unprecedented support for the Forces - if not for the missions in which they were involved. Consequently, policy-makers were compelled to address long¬standing 'people' issues affecting the Forces' community. Today, the Military Covenant conveys the health of the civil-military relationship in Britain, not least because the judiciary has invoked it to assess the value the nation places on military service.

This occasional paper is concerned with the Corporate Covenant, a component of the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) which was intended to be revitalised by the Armed Forces Act 2011. This legally obliged the government to report annually on the progress of the implementation and health of the special relationship between the military and the government and the military and broader society. The AFC is therefore a tripartite arrangement, founded on the premise that, in addition to the government, the nation as a whole has a moral obligation to members of the armed forces, past and present, and their families. The Corporate Covenant is a formal and documented pledge from a commercial organisation (or equivalent) to the armed forces community and wider society. That pledge is lodged with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and commits the company in question to the purposes and intent of the AFC. Specifically, the company agrees to undertake certain actions and initiatives as contained within its bespoke pledge.

In this report the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee says the UK Government must identify any shortfalls in the provision of services to the Armed Forces Community in Northern Ireland, and report on how these will be met. The Committee also calls for closer engagement between the UK Government and Northern Ireland Executive on support for the Armed Forces Community. The inquiry found that due to devolution, variations exist across the regions of the UK as to how health, housing and education services are provided. There are some specific benefits for the armed forces community that exist in Great Britain but are not available in Northern Ireland, such as improved access to IVF treatment, priority in accessing NHS healthcare, additional priority in accessing social housing, and certain educational entitlements.
