Defence logistic planners continue to provide vital support to the Covid-19 response.

Planners were placed into the NHS crisis response cell, supported the NHS in the management and distribution of PPE, and helped create and deliver the National Testing Programme. The Defence logistics hub at Donnington distributed critical care equipment, and military teams assisted regional hubs across the UK.
