Welcome constructive changes and inputs. ]]> Jeneral28 http://www.arrse.co.uk/strategic-defence-spending-review-2010/195966-full-regular-army-orbat-2020-should.html Sustaining cap badges http://www.arrse.co.uk/strategic-defence-spending-review-2010/195773-sustaining-cap-badges.html Sat, 09 Mar 2013 13:33:59 GMT Discuss: Should HM Armed Forces be structured and organised around the maintainance of 'cap badges' or effective 21st century combat formations?

What is the British military for: the defence of UK sovereignty; constabulary support for FCO or No.10 overseas initiatives; or, to provide a clear and structured professional career development opportunity to regular officers?

Quote:
Sustaining cap badges

Addressing questions about specific unit reductions, Chief of the General Staff (CGS) General Sir Peter Wall KCB CBE ADC Gen, said the units to be lost from the Royal Armoured Corps were selected on the basis of armoured corps principles and to sustain as many cap badges as possible.
Of course, this notion of saving 'cap badges' runs beyond the RAC and is just as prevalent within the infantry.

Wonder how many man hours were spent in RAF PR HQ setting this up:
