Default Return Of the Army Catering Corps?

There seems to be some talk that the Army is bringing back the ACC ('Aldershot Cement Company'):

"The MoD has announced plans to re-introduce the Army Catering Corps.
Formed in 1931, the Corps faithfully served tens of thousands of troops around the world with food and drink. The Corps was disbanded in 1993 on the formation of the Royal Logistics Corps.
However, due to numerous failings of contractors to provide catering, and by popular demand of troops, the Catering Corps is due to return as early as 2022.
“We’ve been part of the Royal Logistics Corps for the past thirty years” said WO2 Derek Duval, 42, of the RLC, “but it’s about time that we returned to our proud tradition of serving scoff to troops worldwide.”
It is predicted that troop favourites such as Bratwurst will be regularly served by the ACC. According to MoD sources, troops will be drawn from chefs in the RLC, with applicants welcome from all cap badges following completion of a demanding selection course."
