The Public Accounts Committee has published its report into Army 2020.  The Ministry of Defence ‘determined the future size of the Army based on the need to make financial savings while maintaining enough military capability to deliver required defence outputs.  However, it did not adequately consult the Army on its plan to reduce the regular Army by around 20,000 and increase the Army Reserve, or fully assess the feasibility of that plan’.
