Written question asked by Crispin Blunt (Conservative) on Thursday, 31 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 4 November 2019. It was answered by Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) on Tuesday, 5 November 2019 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Armed Forces: Deployment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department uses criteria to decide whether an international deployment of the armed forces is (a) combat and (b) non-combat.
- Answer
-
All deployments and situations are different, because of this it would be very difficult to create a defined list of criteria to cover every scenario. Missions can also change over time, for example a deployment to provide humanitarian aid could escalate to civil unrest and the military need to be able to quickly and flexibly respond to those situations.
