Her Majesty’s Government in the task of restoring full sovereign control to all aspects of the defence of the Realm in accordance with that mandate of the people
ADVISE
according to the professional experience of its members upon all matters pertaining to the best renovation of our national defence and security
WARN
when, in the professional judgment of its members, steps are proposed or taken which might harm that goal
