Stepping up to support Operation Olympics

The MOD has a primary role in civil protection and with the Olympics just around the corner, extensive contingency plans are already in place.

Under Operaton Olympics, Military personnel are being deployed in and around the venues to protect the general public from any potential threat. Business continuity plans have been extensively rehearsed for any event. And staff, especially those based in Main Building, are also planning for any impact to regular working practices which may happen due to the potential travel disruption.

The smartnumbers services are already used extensively across key sites within the MOD and they are under-pinning Operation Olympics. Those with a smartnumber will be able to take calls from wherever  they are located using any device.

If staff are unable to reach their usual place of work and have to work from an alternative location, they can still be contacted on their usual number.
