Development and functional relationship
i. Whole Force management. Whole Force by Design26
refreshes the Whole Force concept and must guide Whole Force
management. The Whole Force must comprise generalists and
specialists and take into consideration their development and
collaboration requirements. These specialists may come from
partners across government. Stove-piping branch and trades
should be avoided to allow the successful implementation of the
CEMA concept.
ii. General education. Education must focus on how our
operations leverage CEMA and essential operations security
practices.27 We must provide continuous and developing
education opportunities for all personnel to ensure that CEMA is
understood and in line with techological advances.

iii. CEMA training. Where possible training should be
developed and delivered across the Whole Force rather than
single Services or branches. Specialist training should be
balanced against current needs and needs identified during force
development. Aspects of CEMA training will be mandated by
partners across government. 28
iv. Exercises. CEMA serials must be woven into the normal
training programme and not seen as an add on. Exercises must
be realistic and robustly test our Armed Forces’ defensive and
offensive capabilities. We must capably deal with degraded and
denied cyberspace and electromagnetic environment (EME)
operations, adapting quickly to reversionary war modes. Realistic
training must include security against third parties collecting
cyber or EME data on our forces and the challenges of electronic
warfare or offensive cyber systems degrading civil systems. This
will act as a driver for synthetic cyber and EME training systems. 29
26 Whole Force by Design was conceived with National Security Council Review
outcomes in mind, particularly Joint Force 2025 in accordance with the principle of
achieving the most cost effective balance between regular and reserve forces, Ministry of
Defence civilians and contractors.
