As Davef68 said (briefly), this stuff was in the actual report. Here's what it says:
7.39.The Army is retiring its oldest CH-47 Chinook helicopters and investing, alongside the US, in newer variants of this operationally proven aircraft, enhancing capability, efficiency and interoperability....... Investment in a new medium lift helicopter in the mid-2020s will enable a consolidation of the Army’s disparate fleet of medium lift helicopters from four platform types to one; including the replacement of Puma.
It utterly boggles my mind that this is a direct quote from a government published paper, called "A Corporate Report", on what it describes as
Defence's contribution to the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy.
Is there no one in that part of the MoD who understands things like the Joint Helicopter Command, which is, of course, tri-service?
Bogglingly
