Lord George Robertson is a former British defence secretary and former NATO secretary-general. He led the team of three outside figures who wrote Britain's 2025 strategic defence review, a 140-page document published on June 2nd 2025.

Lord Robertson described the review as "genuinely transformative", though critics questioned whether the spending commitments would match the ambitions.
