General Sir Michael Jackson was Chief of the General Staff from February 2003 to August 2006.[1]
From late 1989 to 1992 (around two and a half years) Jackson was Commander of the 39th Infantry Brigade,[2] one of three British Army brigade headquarters in Northern Ireland from the the outbreak of the troubles in 1969. It covered the Belfast area and its commander reported to the Commander Land Forces (Northern Ireland).[3]
Sunday Times sting operation
In 2012, Jackson was one of a number of retired senior army officers targeted in a sting operation by Sunday Times journalists posing as representatives of a Korean drone manufacturer.[4]
Jackson reportedly suggested he could arrange meetings with General Sir Peter Wall and General Sir David Richards. Jackson later said he did not believe that senior members of the armed forces could be improperly influence and would not dream of trying to do so.[5]
