Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said the move to place the Army on standby was a "sensible, precautionary step" and if troops had to be deployed, they would temporarily "provide the supply chain with additional capacity" to ease the pressure caused by increased fuel demand.
The BBC has been told that 75 military drivers are on standby initially, and another 75 could be added if needed. They require up to five days of specialised training.
So a quick trip to Saint Athan and a drive across the parade square to get a HGV3 and qualify you on the Green Goddess has moved on...
Strange how the Army can do in 5 days when you can do it on a 4 days civilian course, so is the problem testing and issuing, not the course itself? Do the military still do in house testing?
