ARRC-King’s College London Initiative

The purpose of the joint ARRC-King’s College London Initiative is to undertake a program of co-operative research between Master’s and PhD student of King’s College London (KCL), and Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) Soldiers and Officers. For the ARRC, this project supports the development of a wider understanding of contemporary tactical and operational topics from an academic perspective, aiming to inform and provoke reflection through integrating alternative perspectives provoked through insightful academic challenge and critique. KCL students benefit from access to real world practitioners with practical experience in their chosen research areas which can inform their own ideas and research, and from the chance to be published in the British Army Review (BAR) and associated professional journals. The three essays in the section have previously been published internally by the ARRC and the Editor is grateful to the authors and HQ ARRC for their release to the Journal of the Royal Corps of Signals.
