Equipment

None we have almost two years to recover what we can and if the armed forces logistic system cannot organise this we are in a poor state.

Dont get me wrong some equipment will be left behind, but we are talking of the wholsale abandoment of a huge slice of the Army Fighting and Logisitc capability.

How many flights will come back almost empty that could over the 2 year period start to recover and salvage some vehicles and parts that can be re-used.

An Army that abandons it equipment is on the run.

What of the Royal Air Force where my experiance was, it will now know there is an end game and a logistic withdrawl plan will be in place, and all major ground equipment, Tools, Spares will be on some blokes inventory and will be recovered if possible, it alway has been and always will. Until you get rid of all your RAF Suppliers, and hand your Supply network over to the Army, and it will end up the same old game of dumping equipment. The British Army has never changed
