Pardon my French mbga9pgf, but b*ll*cks! Yes, there may be three of each, but look at the processes of how each work and you'll see that unless there is a common process there will be no single command. The process of creating a unified way of operating is slowly, and I mean slowly taking shape. I don't believe that all three will be subsumed into some kind of conglomerate defence force in any case in this country because of the traditions that abound within the three services. Look at the Israelis, for example. A relatively clean slate towards the end of the forties (albeit with some inherited structural procedures), and although all three arms work effectively together, the Heyl Ha'Avir is still a separate entity because although the mission is similar, the method of fulfilling that mission is not the same as that of the IDF.

New or old services - all appear to find a better model than the merged triumverate.
