Falklands anyone?
Looks like a few more folks heading south. SDSR manoeuvring, because we now have some Army capacity post Herrick or are the Argies ramping it up?

Michael Fallon, the defence secretary, will announce plans to bolster the Falkland Islands garrison
Michael Fallon, the defence secretary, will announce plans to bolster the Falkland Islands garrison amid fears of a renewed threat from Argentina.
The south American nation is feared to be increasing military expenditure, according to reports. Senior ministers in the country have also made a series of increasingly aggressive statements about the islands in recent years.
A Whitehall source told the Sun newspaper: "The Defence Secretary's decision reflects our operational judgments and the heightened nature of the threat."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence added: "There is a defence review and an announcement will be made about it. There will be a full statement by Michael Fallon."
