وزارت دفاع
The term "defense diplomacy" was first used by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense (MOD), but not as an intellectually distinct concept, but rather as a means of consolidating a series of cooperative military activities being conducted by the MOD under a single heading.
The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense (MOD), in an attempt to bring clarity to the wide variety of cooperative programs and activities undertaken by its military during the transition of the 1990s, sought to consolidate these new military missions under a single conceptual framework.
They called it defense diplomacy (MOD, "Strategic Defense Review" 70).
Instead of detailing specific programs, the MOD focused on what they hoped to achieve through the use of defense diplomacy.
Specifically, the provision of forces: "to meet the varied activities undertaken by the MOD to dispel hostility, build and maintain trust and assist in the development of democratically accountable armed forces, thereby making a significant contribution to conflict prevention and resolution" (MOD, "Defence Diplomacy" 2).
