INTRODUCTION<br />
BY VICE ADMIRAL C P R MONTGOMERY CBE ADC – SECOND SEA<br />
LORD AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF NAVAL HOME COMMAND<br />
It is a particular pleasure to<br />
introduce this Autumn’s edition of<br />
the Personnel Support Brief (PSB),<br />
the first during my time as Second<br />
Sea Lord. I rate the PSB highly. It<br />
is an excellent tool for helping<br />
Divisional and Regimental leaders<br />
in the essential job of making sure<br />
their teams are up-to-date on the<br />
policy developments that affect<br />
them as people.<br />
Having introduced a previous PSB as<br />
Naval Secretary in the Summer of 2007,<br />
I find that although times change<br />
and the Naval Service is continually<br />
improving, my message remains<br />
constant: that our people and their<br />
families are the Service’s crown jewels,<br />
the capability that lies at the heart of<br />
everything we do. Recognising this<br />
has never been more important than<br />
it is now, as we steer our way through<br />
some of the most testing economic<br />
and strategic tides of change in recent<br />
memory. We have good reason to be<br />
proud of our Divisional and Regimental<br />
system, the backbone of a network of care and communication that others rightly<br />
envy; but it cannot be taken for granted and nor should the people it supports. I am<br />
especially keen to see how we can improve the way we reach out to our families, who<br />
sustain us in everything that we do.<br />
Two-way communication is one of the things that give the Divisional and Regimental<br />
system its great strength. These briefs are aimed at keeping people in the picture,<br />
but the other half of the equation, equally important, is feeding back through the<br />
Divisional and Regimental Support Team in NCHQ. That way we can work together to<br />
build the evolution of our Service for the future on as firm a basis and as broad a front<br />
as possible.<br />
The PSB and associated 2-6 DVD contain a summary of recent initiatives, RNTMs and<br />
DINs and also include contact details of Naval Service subject matter experts for further<br />
information. I hope you will make the fullest use of them and that they will prove their<br />
worth as the pace of change continues.<br />
