So, the black hole is down from £38Bn to £20Bn in just a few years. No better indication of the cuts; and now more planned before assessing the impact of the previous ones. Or was the £38Bn a load of cobblers to justify cuts? Or is this now Treasury BCs saying, you managed £18BN, now take more. Time for the Chiefs of Staff to speak out while in office.
3 Cdo might twitch as this would be seen as an opportunity to consolidate the recently announced cuts in their strength - and some more. Parts of the Army would be glad to get shot of 16AAB, at least the ground element. I recall them being written out of BOWMAN, senior staff alleging they weren't a properly established unit. By the time they produced their chit it was too late. Interesting and revealing little Army spat. Makes you wonder who's whispering in RUSI ears.
