What is the DE&S and how does it fit into the MoD?

The MoD is one of the largest spending departments in Government and the DE&S makes up approximately 43% of the defence budget. The Defence Equipment and Support organisation procures new equipment for the Armed Forces and is responsible for supporting the armed forces throughout the various stages of an operation or exercise; from training, deployment, in-theatre training and conduct of operations, through to recovery and recuperation ready for redeployment.
