  "abstract": "Defence engagement (DE) encompasses the range of activities that the UK’s military undertakes, short of combat operations, to achieve influence.1 DE has been an explicit UK national security approach since 2010,2 promoting international stability through a combination of military diplomacy and capacity building.
