Abstract

Using the approach of identifying ʽred flags’, the article analyses the most vulnerable areas of military activity such as defence procurement (acquisition); use of defence lands; housing provision for military personnel and their families; state defence enterprise activity; and use of fuel, to recognise the corruption risks and the consequences of improper activities in these areas for the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces.
