RCDS Strategy Exercise and Contracted Support

Descriptions

The Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS) is an eleven month post graduate course in international strategic studies, focused upon security, stability and prosperity at the grand strategic level of governmental decisions both nationally and within the international community. The Members (as students are called), predominantly but not only from military backgrounds, are selected for their potential to reach the highest ranks of senior leadership and advisory posts in their own countries. As part of the core syllabus the RCDS runs two Strategic Exercises exposing its Members to the complexity of strategic analysis and formulation in two stages, enhancing their understanding of the requirements of strategy-making and developing their skills of strategic analysis and policy formulation.
