Strategic Communication
Tatham is the author of "Strategic Communication: A Primer" [4], the British Military's first articulation of Strategic Communication doctrine. As well as being written to aid the authors of the Ministry of Defence Doctrine and Concepts Centre's formulation of counter-insurgency doctrine (JDP3-40) [5], Small Wars Journal has stated that
- Tatham's primer has been followed by the roll out of a Strategic Communication education program across all UK Staff Courses. Trialed initially on the UK's Tri-Service Warrant Officer's course - where the concept was warmly welcomed - it has subsequently been rolled out to the initial (8 week) staff courses (for Lieutenants and Captains), the Advanced (1 year) staff course (for Majors and Lieutenant Colonels) and the Higher Staff Course for very senior officers.
