Name Not-So-New MoD Team"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LONDON \u2014 Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and Procurement Minister Philip Dunne will both continue in their pre-election posts under the new government being formed by the ruling Conservative Party following the May 7 general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British MoD will also get its first female armed forces minister with the appointment of Penny Mordaunt to the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One political analyst said Prime Minister David Cameron <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">had gone <\/span>went for consistency in his re-appointment of Fallon and Dunne at a time when the MoD faces the immediate challenge of trying to protect the department from further budget cuts and a strategic defense and security review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They are people who have a good track record in their old jobs at defense and they will provide consistency during what may be a difficult time with talk of budget reductions and a strategy review,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fallon was appointed as defense secretary in the middle of last year with many analysts and others reckoning he would be only a caretaker until the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it&#8217;s turned out, the general opinion is Fallon has done a good job at a difficult time with the government&#8217;s failure to commit to the NATO spending targets beyond this year, reductions in the size of the armed forces, recruitment of additional reserves and other issues creating problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mordaunt&#8217;s arrival at the MoD is confirmation of her status as a Conservative high-flyer, having become a member of Parliament only in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite her relative inexperience as a politician, she is well versed in defense matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is an MP in Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy, and has been a member of the Parliamentary Defence Committee and the private parliamentary secretary for the then-Defence Secretary Philip Hammond before moving to a junior position in the communities and local government department last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daughter of a British paratrooper, one of her little known early roles was as a magician&#8217;s assistant, a skill that may stand her in good stead as she takes on her responsibilities for training and force generation, operations and operational policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She gained minor notoriety last year when she managed to mention the word &#8220;cock&#8221; six times during a speech in Parliament on chicken welfare as part of a bet with naval officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: <a
