Fox3,
Thanks for that - so you mean that yet another "drawdown" in numbers overshot the target leading to an understrength force!!
I was once in a briefing about planned redundancy (the 3 rounds version in the 2000s) when a visiting Wg Cdr from Manning was specifically asked what plans they had to avoid overshooting their target as had always occurred historically. He said they were aware of this and taken measures to avoid it - and what happened.... you guessed it!!
Still, an SDSR usually comes along to get Manning out of their hole!
