We are delighted to welcome Colonel Jo Burgon, who will talk to us about her life in the Army from a woman’s perspective and her job as the Military Defence Attaché at the British Embassy.

Colonel Jo Burgon was commissioned into the Adjutant General’s Corps in December 1996, following the year-long officer commissioning course at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Her early roles were focused on learning and development delivery in Army Education Centres, the Army Technical Foundation College and the Defense School of Languages at Beaconsfield. She spent much of her time as a staff officer in learning development adviser roles, supporting the analysis, development and evaluation of training and education for a number of different Army capability leads. She has served in Bosnia and Iraq. She has a Master of Arts in Education and a Master of Science in Human Resource Development. She has commanded three Army Education Centres in Catterick in 2003-2005, and one of the British Army’s two education delivery units, ETS(North), from 2016-2018.

On promotion to Colonel and to the General Staff, her first assignment was as Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff Education and ETS Branch Colonel. She then studied Hebrew at the Defence Academy for six months before attending the 49th Israeli National Defence College in preparation for her role as the United Kingdom’s Defence Attaché to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
