@irlsgt what are you disagreeing with?
Here is an extract from a speech given by The Rt Hon Mark Lancaster TD MP, Minister of State for the Armed Forces at the RUSI Land Warfare Conference in June this year.
Minister Armed Forces Keynote Address
" So, under the Modernising Defence Programme we’re looking carefully at our Reserve Forces, with the aim of enhancing national resilience by giving our Armed Forces even more flexibility. As part of that work, we will be testing our arrangements for mobilising large numbers of Reserves.
But the need for agility goes beyond the work we do with Reservists and it must be about more than just a single Division.
It is also about the enablers from across the Army, without which the Division would be unable to function. Furthermore,
our resilience is founded on our ability to generate a second, follow-on Division to meet the NATO demand signal providing vital wide-area security and stabilisation. "
