The solution is obvious: the RAF Regiment subsumes the Army, the RAF Marine Branch rises again and absorbs the Navy, and the whole melange is renamed - let me see - the Royal Armed Forces. That will doubtless be abbreviated to - um - the RAF.
But I'm all for jointery, meaning that the Services that are best at any particular skills continue to carry them out for the common good.
