"I am eager to take on the responsibilities that come with this position, particularly acting as the spokesperson for the non-commissioned cadre," Subramaniam said in a statement.

"Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of roles and with colleagues from different branches of the UK's armed forces, including the Army and Navy. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have had to develop strong working relationships across all three branches of the military, and look forward to continuing to strengthen those bonds, in my new role," he added.
