The announcement (I have it on good authority), will also see a reduction in "conventional" Infantry leading to the demise of Battalions within Multi Battalion Infantry Regiments. Be interesting to see whether the Parachute Regiment emerges unscathed (again). There are likely to be Political influences brought to bear...I know of one British Infantry Battalion that is under threat despite being 95% manned, whereas there are others at 40% strength which are not under threat due to their recruiting area. As they say, go figure ….
