Tim Law

Colonel Law’s appointment is equivalent to Director DARA (now DFLW) in the Australian Army, although the views expressed within this article are largely his own and do not reflect official British Army force modernisation objectives. He is, however, the lead author of the UK’s Future Land Operating Concept Development Agenda, a substantial work that sets the context for the British Army’s Land Environment Capability Management Strategy. An artillery officer by trade, Colonel Law has served for 20 years and has seen active service in the Balkans, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. Most recently, he commanded a close support artillery regiment in Helmand Province, acting as the Chief of Targeting and Joint Fires. His past service has also included two spells as a member of the Directing Staff at the British Staff College and time in the MOD’s Operations Directorate. He recently led the British Army delegation to Army-to-Army Staff Talks in Canberra and has established more effective links between the British and Australian force development organisations
