One of my most enduring and vivid memories of my time in uniform was our participation in the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The military were only ever expected to be in the background of this nationally important event, but the well publicised challenges faced by G4S over their ability to provide adequate venue security, meant that as the Games approached, the military's role grew enormously.
I was fortunate enough to be right in the heart of this drama as it unfolded. I was the MOD member of the Home Office run "Olympic Security Board" and I and my team, were in the forefront of the planning and eventual delivery of the response.
As is widely acknowledged, the military support to the Games was a spectacular success and in this short episode I attempt to capture some of the key aspects of the planning, the delivery, and the aftermath of this incredible period.
I really hope you enjoy the episode and, as ever, I would be delighted to hear what you think if you have the time to provide me some feedback.
