General and Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff timing[edit]

User:Adamfragz updated the article to General and Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff based off thi GOV.UK profile (yes?). However, this web page has existed since at least 17 May; i.e. when the future promotion was announced. It isn't proof that she has taken up the post or been promoted. There is nothing in the London Gazette about a promotion yet, nor anything published anywhere about the hand over. I would therefore say it is pre-emptive to update this article and associated articles (such as Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff (United Kingdom)), and so these edits need reverting.

I cannot find any evidence that Sharon Nesmith has been replaced as Deputy Chief of the General Staff which would suggest that she is still in that role. Dormskirk (talk) 18:02, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can see we don't have the definitive announcement that she has been promoted or taken over from Jenkins, which would be in the London Gazette. I see that the GOV.UK page names her as such, but am honestly wary of that as can find no other military source or news article saying that the change/promotion has actually occurred. Have restored this page to previous version for now. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:11, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General Sir Roland Walker[edit]

Hi, it has been confirmed that General Walker has taken over as CGS, as if you look at the reference posted on the page (https://www.gov.uk/government/people/roly-walker), it states "He assumed the appointment on 15 June 2024." - therefore meaning he has assumed the position. @Dormskirk.
