My prediction is the army’s armoured cavalry units and larger non-spearhead infantry units are going to take an absolute hammering. If it isn’t high tech or specialised, it’s going to go.
This nonsense of every army unit having its own barber, admin, cook and bottle washer needs to go for cost saving too. They can easily do all that as a non formed unit when they deploy. How many army support personnel for each bayonet carrier again? Unfortunately fat useless little ex army twerps like Mark Francois will probably block it.
