  As Chief of Defence Logistics and Support (CDLS), Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Phil Prosser is responsible for leading the National Armaments Logistics & Support organisation as it enables Defence activities around the world today, while continually modernising and integrating how Support will be delivered in the future. CDLS is the Function Owner for Support, responsible for improving coherence and performance of Support across Defence.

  On joining, Lt Gen Phil Prosser said:

  It is a privilege to take over as CDLS today and to lead the talented military and civilian people who deliver Support for Defence every day. As we face an increasingly complex and challenging world, my focus will be on delivering for the front line today while modernising Support for the future. I look forward to working with colleagues across Defence and industry to strengthen the Support Enterprise and ensure it continues to deliver what our Armed Forces need, where and when they need it. I would also like to thank Vice Admiral Sir Andy Kyte for his outstanding leadership and vision. He leaves a strong legacy and a clear sense of direction for Support, and I am proud to build on the progress made under his leadership.

  Rupert Pearce, National Armaments Director, said:

  I am delighted to welcome Lt Gen Phil Prosser as Chief of Defence Logistics and Support. Phil brings a wealth of operational and leadership experience and is exceptionally well placed to lead Support through its next chapter.

  As we continue to transform Defence and prepare for future challenges, I look forward to working closely with Phil to ensure Support remains at the heart of warfighting readiness.

  I would also like to pay tribute to Vice Admiral Sir Andy Kyte for his significant contribution as CDLS and to thank him for his over 39 years of service. His leadership helped shape a clear vision for Support, drove tremendous progress in modernising Support and laid strong foundations for its continued transformation across Defence.

  Vice Admiral Sir Andy Kyte said: 

  It has been an honour to serve as CDLS over the last three years. The continued modernisation of Support is critical to Defence’s success, and Phil has the insight and experience needed to drive that progress forward. I wish him every success as he takes over as CDLS and know that Support is in excellent hands.
