Just What Do They Do All Day

In light of today’s depressing news about the huge bill in ‘mates rates’ consultants at the MoD as a result of chopping civilian posts and giving the keys to the tuck shop to those with an old Regimental tie, this is an interesting bit of analysis work from Chris.B

Defence Equipment & Support

The purpose of this article is just to give a brief over view in response to some of the questions and queries in the comments section about how many senior staff we have and what they’re all doing. A natural starting point for this – given how much we all complain about how long it takes the military to build and organise equipment programs – would be to look at the Defence Equipment & Support group (DE&S).

It should be pointed out that all this information is freely available online and I haven’t smuggled documents out of the MoD before anyone asks (like the Police).

Presented is a list of the senior staff posts, the description of what they and their departments do, the staff costs for each of these major posts, and a rough breakdown of the make up of their staffs, both civilian and military. In most cases the Military staff are divided by rank, however I elected not to break the civilian support staff down into their sub groups (pay grades).

Before we begin though, we must just briefly touch on the subject of relevant ranks and what the rough equivalent is in each service, just so nobody goes confusing RAF and Navy Captains for their Army equivalents;

OF-10
Army: Field Marshal
RAF: Marshal of the Royal Air Force
Navy: Admiral of the Fleet

OF-9 (“4-star“)
General
Air Chief Marshal
Admiral

OF-8
Lieutenant General
Air Marshal
Vice Admiral

OF-7
Major General
Air Vice Marshal
Rear Admiral

OF-6
Brigadier
Air Commodore
Commodore

OF-5
Colonel
Group Captain
Captain

OF-4
Lieutenant Colonel
Wing Commander
Commander

OF-3
Major
Squadron Leader
Lieutenant Commander

OF-2
Captain
Flight Lieutenant
Lieutenant

OF-1
Lieutenant/2^nd Lieutenant
Flying Officer/Pilot Officer
Sub-Lieutenant

I can only assume that when the source document mentions “other ranks” it’s referring to non-officer posts. Where ranks are listed that are in use by more than one service (such as Captain), identification will be provided through the following abbreviations;

AR = Army,
RAF = Royal Air Force,
RN = Royal Navy

Total numbers of all service staff will be provided at the end, as will a total cost of all staff, military and civilian.

And lastly I should point out that the source document is dated either for the 5^th of November 2010 or the 11^th of May 2010. The date display format used for the document is not a common one. This means that some of the data will be out of date by now in light of the changes brought about after the Strategic Defence and Security Review, but at the very least this should give you an overview of who is doing what in the DE&S, and how much it’s costing them to do it.
