Didn't you trip over your bucket up there?There's no way he can have worked on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th floors.

If I can be wide-eyedly naive for a moment..
The US Army bases it's high intensity ops around the Armoured Brigade Combat Team
Approx 17000 all trades and ranks about 6000 Infantry/Cavalry The rest Dropshorts Engineers Signals and other support roles.
About 90 tanks 100 IFV's 18 SP 155's. Plus logistics and support vehicles AVRE's bridging units etc...
Surely we could assemble and man 1 of those from the numbers of troops tanks. IFV's and other vehicles we've already got.
If we put up one of those ironed out any ammo, fuel compatibility issues and worked on sufficient commonality of doctrine so ours could take line next to one of theirs.. Then chucked in Rotary Wing and Air Transport to aid mobility.. The Yanks would be more than happy with us...
Am I missing something?
How so? You haven't put up a single point to the contrary.This is obviously not the case.
Couple of nice pieces in The Guardian which tend to give last week's ST pieces more credence and put the wind up the top brass.
1) Dominic Cummings to tour sensitive MoD sites amid defence review - PM’s adviser will visit SAS and Porton Down, and has been to MI5 and MI6, leaked email says
and
2) Mark Francois being his usual debonair self in committee.
But it does not make me an expert an absolutly everything, everywhere, since the beginning of time
An ABCT has a little over 4700 Soldiers assigned to it when fully manned.
Three combined arms battalions, a fires battalion, a cav squadron, the brigade support battalion, and a engineer battalion.
The numbers you put up are for a division.
Got my names and numbers from here...
The last time we held informal 'conversations' with the French, some tw@t committed the UK to sending a BEF of six infantry divisions and one cavalry division to help them out!!I like the RCDS tie to show he’s a kindred spirit to Carter, even if he only did the short course. His ‘conversations’ with German and French RCDS members on his course were probably worth listening to for novelty value, if nothing else.

Or is it a constraint? "Here's the dosh, spend it wisely as there is no more."I'm well aware of how the funding works.
A limit is clearly direction.
Don't forget AII've just read the Guardian article.

Cummings seems hung up on drones in the way that Sandys was about surface to air missiles, with disastrous results for the RAF and UK industry.
It's amazing the difference a week makes - before word of the possible shape of the defence review leaked, I was pretty keen on Cummings shaking things up in Whitehall. The more it seems he believes drones and IT can win wars by themselves, the less keen I am.

Probably considerably more expert than yourself, but you are just lashing out now as is usual when you are shown to be incorrect. Which is fairly frequently.You worked in Whitehall, but you haven't got any idea how MOD planning works? Riiiiiiight...
No, but you'd have thought it would give you an entry-level understanding of how the MOD operates.
