Wiltshire Military Civilian Integration Partnership

For a number of years Wiltshire Council has been working with the Army's 43 (Wessex) Brigade to promote Military Civilian Integration (MCI) across the county.

The aim of MCI in Wiltshire is to optimise the economic and social benefits of the military presence in the county, benefiting Armed Forces personnel, their families, veterans, and the communities in which they live.

Recently, the MCI work has been brought up-to-date.

It is now the MCI Partnership, not programme, incorporating the 'Wiltshire Community Covenant Partnership' (this aligns the partnership better with MoD's Armed Forces Community Covenant work)

• Two new objectives have been added:
• • One to fully embed the Wiltshire Armed Forces Community Covenant into the partnership's work
  • One to assist Service leavers, and redundees in particular, in career transition and into employment in Wiltshire, helping soldiers back into society

This MCI work has coincided with major defence changes such as the development of Britain's first 'Super Garrison' in the Salisbury Plain area, closure of RAF Lyneham and the move of Defence Technical Training to the site, and the opening of the Army's Personnel Recovery and Assessment Centre at Tedworth House, Tidworth.
