Chief of Defence People
The Chief of Defence People is the senior military officer in the British Armed Forces responsible for the policies and processes concerning the management of British military personnel across the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force and Ministry of Defence civil service. Created by re-designating the Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff (Personnel and Training) in 2013, the post was initially titled as the Chief of Defence Personnel. In April 2014, MOD civilian personnel policy was added to the post's responsibility. This post was disestablished under the Defence Reforms in 2025.[1]
