Am I the only one who sees this as slightly single service centric for a potential future CDS?
His arguments may have a few flaws:
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the military has faced a string of counterinsurgency or stabilisation operations in the Balkans, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan. Didn't the Balkans and Iraq campaigns start with a "minor" contribution by Air?
Britain will need to develop better defensive and offensive measures to ward off cyber-attacks. I'd be interested to see the Army plans for Cyber and I don't mean Military Influence.
Britain still needed ships, aircraft and tanks. But there may have to be fewer of them because more soldiers are required, along with more helicopters to carry them. Does that mean a large mobile army with no air or maritime capacity. Are they planning to walk to the next theatre of ops. And I won't get back onto air superiority over the battlefield.
