About our support for the Armed Forces Community in Hampshire
Our aim is to improve the prosperity of service personnel, their families, veterans and reservists
Our support is underpinned by the Armed Forces Covenant and Civilian Military Partnership.
Research and studies help us to understand the significant economic impact that the Armed Forces Community makes.
Military Economic Assessment
The Armed Forces and defence related industry in Hampshire and Oxfordshire makes up a large part of our economies. Both the MOD and local government face significant changes to spending, employment and property.
The MOD, Hampshire and Oxfordshire County Councils commissioned a report: The Economic Significance of Military Activity in Oxfordshire and the Hampshire Economic Area. For further information please see the Overview paper and Technical report.
