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
Thats a bit unfair old chap. First, learn to spell. Second, the closure of the Ground Lines of Communication out of this place have more to do with why stuff is now being left behind. Lets also not forget that the kit is in a million different mod states, is on UOR purchase so therefore has no long term funding and hopefully we will never need to use this highly specialist kit again in the near future. Why would the brown-jobs want to pay long term for kit maintainance, training and disposal that was originally funded through the treasury reserve? Different budget, not their problem. The kit will cost more to extract than they can gain for surplus, so whats the point in moving it?
The longer we fly bits of land rover, wooden chocks and lifex kit out of theatre to be sold for buttons at surplus, the less valuable stuff will be brought out. The easiest, simplest way of doing this if there was the will to withdraw kit would be to cut a deal with the talibs to allow a big long convoy out of the place in a one-er. It seems there is no will to do this, possibly due to reasons speculated above, so I imagine the kit will be staying put.
