News of Developments in the CBM Air Context (U)

Version 1.1 of the CBM(Air) Context CD was sent out by post, following its publication on 2Oct02. 
Version 1.2 (CHOtS) was published only on the MoD Intranet, on 16Apr03.
Please note that distribution of the CD, and access to the MoD Intranet,  is RESTRICTED to officially sponsored UK military contacts.

As part of CBM Air Context development and evolution, we have put in place formal feedback mechanisms.  This page will describe what is new in the current published versions, and what topics are being developed for future versions.   More information can be found by sending an e-mail to doctrine@awc.mod.uk,  marked "attention SO2 CBM Air".   I want to stress that the Context is still in its early days, and so feedback from you will be vital in developing it into a product that meets the needs of a range of stakeholders.  

Thank you.
