Thats rather defeatist; why can’t we grow capability? Admittedly it’s a very long time since we grew infantry capability but others have formed new regiments from scratch in serving memory.It DOESN'T work, which is precisely the point I was making, which IS the answer to your previous question.
You're living in la-la land. We've got what we've got, not the weapons and recruited and trained personnel we need and would like to have. To go back to your previous post:
With Option 1 you've left out the most important FACT: you don't have a magic wand to create those 'formations and units' out of thin air. You can't 'deliver responses' with something that only exists on paper
The missing link is a clear vision and a strategic delivery plan. I do wonder whether it’s realistic to expect a board which has to focus on near term management of the organisation to set a coherent vision for 10 years plus, let alone implement it.
