British Defence Staff

The British Defence Staff is a team of military and civilian experts responsible for representing the UK's defense interests in other countries, particularly at embassies or international organizations. They coordinate military diplomacy, facilitate communication between the UK and host nations' armed forces, and support operational planning and policy development. The staff ensures that the UK’s defense objectives align with international partnerships, contributes to strategic discussions, and helps manage military cooperation, all while working closely with both the UK Ministry of Defence and foreign counterparts to strengthen security and interoperability.
