If we withdraw from the Stan and the ME totally by 2015 and cruising into downtown Tehran with a few battlegroups is not a viable option, what's left to do?
1. UK and FI QRA?
2. Small scale humanitarian aid flights?
After allowances have been cut to ribbons, CEA cut, pay freeze continues, manpower bill shrinks to c. 20 000 or lower...is there a job we can or should do outside the two above?
How low can we go? 10 000 personnel as part of a UK Defence Force by 2020?
(Basically, should I PVR next year....? (Considering I reach 38 on AFPS 75 in 2015!))
