 R3I Consulting is principally a Defence and Security consultancy. In the modern global security environment traditional state-based threats and characteristics of warfare have been supplemented with evolving threats from sub-state actors and the rise of discretionary expeditionary conflicts.
The challenges to traditional conceptual frameworks, military doctrine, equipment budgets, departmental roles and responsibilities and inter-Service relationships are complicated by the fact that although the potential for traditional warfare has receded, it has not been eliminated.
 The consequent tension between funding, configuring and equipping Armed Forces for today's enduring counter-insurgency conflicts or for tomorrow's theoretical inter-state wars is brought into sharp focus by the effects of a global recession.
The need for Relevant, Reliable, Responsible and Insightful
advice, analysis and research across the Defence and Security sector is clear. Government departments, military commanders, planners, doctrine developers, defence companies and media organisations all have an interest in properly understanding current conflicts and how they might develop.
Furthermore, key political and military decision-makers plus others working in policy communities have to overcome the challenges of complex and dynamic situations and the
 problems these generate. Preparing for the unexpected and choosing the right course of action to minimise or overcome future threats demands not hindsight but foresight, and not knowledge but wisdom.
R3I Consulting seeks to cultivate that wisdom and is available to offer consultative advice, compile analytical articles or papers, to conduct research projects, deliver briefings and presentations or assist with planning activities and policy debates. If you would like to discuss your specific requirements and how R3I Consulting might be of assistance to you or your organisation please send an e-mail to enquiries@r3iconsulting.com or call +44 (0)7772 856548.
