RUSI have just published an excellent report on Alliance involvment in Libyan. Albeit based on OS reporting, it is a right rivetting read and argues, obliquely, for the need to maintain balanced forces - air arms in particular. Libya was not Iraq, was not Afghanistan; the paper argues that it was a more conventional conflict, with the obvious limitations of operating without extensive assets on the ground.

The SF reporting is interesting, too.

I wonder what kind of impact this will have on forthcoming defence reviews?:confused:
