    Army Secretariat Army Headquarters IDL 24 Blenheim Building Marlborough Lines Andover Hampshire, SP11 8HJ United Kingdom Ref: FOI2017/10087/13/04/79464 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.army.mod.uk XXX XXXXXXXXXXX 5 December 2017 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear XXXXXX, Thank you for your email of 14 October in which you clarified your request of 6 October to the following : ‘In particular please clarify what you mean by ‘people from Scotland’. Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist. Finally please confirm that you require the information for both parts of your request by Financial Years 2014, 2015 & 2016. Yes please, If the information exists for each year then I would be grateful for this. If this is significantly time consuming then 2016 would be sufficient.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

  • British Army Logistics and Contractors on the Battlefield
    British Army Logistics and Contractors on the Battlefield David M Moore and Peter D Antill Introduction The threat that was presented to the Western Alliance by the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact during the Cold War forced the United Kingdom to concentrate scarce resources on providing combat systems that delivered the maximum deterrent value. This unfortunately, tended to be at the expense of combat service support (CSS), forcing the British Army to rely on the secure lines of communication through the Low Countries and the prepositioning of stocks both forward and in the rear areas. CSS was characterised by a cumbersome acquisition process and the lack of awareness of the total cost of acquisition, storage, distribution and ultimately, disposal. Even so, such reliance on the ‘shop-window’ of combat capability was in many ways a false economy, particularly when it came to actually using those forces in the Gulf War: “At the outset of Granby, what had long been known within the confines of the Army became more general public knowledge: that many of the Challenger I tanks were not battle-worthy. Challenger I availability in 1990 in BAOR was just 23 per cent – at any one time over three quarters of the tanks were under repair or otherwise out of service.” 1 The collapse of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union has forced the West to focus on force projection, expeditionary operations and manoeuvre warfare, given that there is no longer a direct threat to Western Europe. This move from a just-in-case approach to nearer a just-in- time one with a greater emphasis on the ability of commanders to more accurately predict their requirements will be dependant on total asset visibility and guaranteed lines of communication.
