It will be too little and too late. If push comes to shove we will have to go with what we have now, having suffered years of the Treasury taking the same "Peace Dividend" over and over again on the assumption there was never going to be another conflict.
I still smart from the time I was told to demilitarise my department as much as possible to save money without "any loss of output". When I challenged the order, I was told by my immediate superior, an Air Rank, there was never going to be another war and to get on with it. Six months later, in my next posting, I was required to submit names for personnel to be sent to Afghanistan, again "with no loss of output".
