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.

They are going to use the Defence Budget to directly support UK High Tech industrial development and research, a la DARPA. So, if I were a betting man, firms focused on Cyber, space, unmanned systems (across the spectrum) and communications systems are going to do very well out of this. And it wont be BWOS that benefits, it will be small, niche companies imho.
Time to get rid of dead wood and focus where we can have the biggest leverage globally for the smallest buck. The days of gunboat diplomacy for the UK are over.
