The army will soon be at a strength below 100,000 but I bet it doesn't stop the present government from getting involved in future 'hot' areas
Quote:
Nearly 4,500 Army personnel are being told they have been made redundant in the third and biggest round of job cuts since the 2010 defence review.
They are part of a long-term plan to cut the number of regular soldiers from 102,000 to 82,000. The government plans to increase the number of reservists.
Ministers said the cuts were "unavoidable" and the Army would be "more flexible and agile" in future.
