The British Army go back to running Attack Aviation, an area in which they excell. The RAF go back to managing SH, something they do very well, and the RN go back to floating about pretending the world is flat. Jointery is all well and good, but if you look at JHFA, do we need a Gazelle Pilot or a Navy Observer attempting to micromanage Chinook Ops, second guessing the experienced captain who has the whole picture? Or an SH mate overly involved in the running of the Apache program, making decisions based on very limited experience?
Most of the people in JHC (all 3 services) are very capable, but we mis-employ them out of their area of expertise just to fit in with the JHC ethos. It's pants.

I would be very surprised if JHC sees it's 15th anniversary. Not to mention a little dissappointed.
