An essential part of the current reorganisation is the new Constitution. It needs to incorporate the aims and principles of the 2006 version, which was drawn up in accordance with Senior Counsel's advice and consultation with a group of 50 current and former armed forces personnel drawn from across the ranks and services.

British Armed Forces Federation - BAFF - is the unofficial, independent, all-ranks staff association for regular, reserve and former UK forces personnel.

BAFF is completely independent of the Ministry of Defence, and its mission is to represent its members in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, the British Army and the Royal Air Force, including the reserves.
