ARMY 2020 DATA - INFANTRY RESTRUCTURING

Following the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) in 2010 a wide ranging study into the future size and structure of the Army was initiated by the Chief of the General Staff (CGS). This study, known as Army 2020, took note of the anticipated requirements outlined in the SDSR report along with the plans outlined in the Defence Transformation announcement of 18 July 2011 for an integrated Army of 120,000 consisting of 82,000 regular personnel, 30,000 trained reservists and a margin for 8,000 Reservists in training, and proposed a future Army structure that would be able to meet these.

The outcome of this study was announced in the House on 5 July (Official Report 5 July 2012: Column 1085) and included the decision that the Army would reduce the number of Infantry battalions in the Army’s Order of Battle from 36 to 31 battalions.

The Army took account of a number of criteria in reaching the decision on which battalions would be withdrawn. These were:

• maintaining a Regimental system which is largely regionally aligned; • demographic sustainability of Regiments according to projected regional supply of recruits in the 2020 timeframe; • proportionality of outcome, with no Regimental cap badge deletions and no regiment losing more than one battalion in a re-organisation; • balancing the whole Infantry structure to maintain variety of roles and parity of opportunity of experience for officers and soldiers; • taking account of previous decisions on mergers and deletions; • historical manning performance; and • ensuring a solution that the Army would see as fair and equitable.

Drawing on demographic data produced by the Office for National Statistics for the age cohort across the UK from which Infantry recruits are typically drawn (15-29 age group), and taking account of historical trends in terms of the percentage of that cohort likely to join the Army, an assessment was made of which regiments were likely to be the least sustainable in the future if they retained their current structure. This work also included a comparison of each regiment’s historical outflow so the likely recruiting requirement could be determined.

The Army’s analysis showed that those regiments likely to be the least sustainable in future were the Royal Regiment of Scotland (predicted to be 1.75 battalions short), The Yorkshire Regiment (predicted to be 0.8 battalions short), The Mercian Regiment (predicted to be 0.56 battalions short) and the Royal Welsh Regiment (predicted to be 0.55 battalions short). It was therefore decided to remove one battalion from each of these regiments.

After the removal of these four battalions, and taking account of the criteria that there should be no Regimental cap badge deletions and no regiment losing more than one battalion, determining the fifth battalion to be withdrawn required the application of criteria that went wider than demographics.

Taking account of the need to maintain equity of opportunity across the Infantry Divisions and therefore having discounted those regiments that were already losing a battalion, and those which were single battalion regiments, options were reduced to taking a battalion from one of four Divisions of Infantry:

The Rifles. The Parachute Regiment The King’s Division: The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, The Yorkshire Regiment. The Queen’s Division: The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (RRF), The Royal Anglian Regiment.

The Rifles were discounted as they had already undergone the most Regimental amalgamation during the last two reorganisations and demographic projections suggested that they will remain the most strongly manned out to 2020. The Parachute Regiment was excluded on account of its specific and unique role. The King’s Division had already been reduced under the Future Infantry Structure (FIS) of 2005, taking it from six battalions to five, and was to be reduced again to four battalions by having a Yorkshire Battalion earmarked for removal from the Order of Battle. Taking this into account, the Army decided that the remaining Infantry battalion ought to be found from The Queen’s Division Regiments; this Division had not been affected by the FIS reductions of 2005, had retained the same scale of three Regiments, each with two battalions, since 1994, and would otherwise have had six battalions in comparison to other Divisions with five or less.

When reviewing manning performance from across The Queen’s Division, the RRF, with average historical undermanning of 13.3% since FIS, proved to be the historically least well manned of the three regiments and was therefore determined to be the one from which a battalion should be withdrawn.

After the withdrawal of five battalions from across the Infantry, the Army’s analysis showed that future manning should be sustainable with sufficient recruits predicted to fill the necessary posts across all battalions.

The key information used by the Army to inform the decisions made is attached in the following annexes.

List of Annexes

Annex A – A Record of British Infantry Amalgamation and Disbandment – 1958 to 2007

This is a historic chart showing how the Infantry has changed structurally since 1958, including previous amalgamations and disbandments.

Annex B - Historic Manning Data

Manning data is provided at Divisional, Regimental and Battalion level.

These sheets show the following

a. Required manning level (the establishment) - shaded gray. b. Actual manning level (the strength) – black line c. Over and under manning (surplus/deficits) - red and blue bars

This data has been compiled from the Infantry Battalion Strength Report which is produced quarterly using manning figures provided by individual battalions. It is a readily available source of data. The sheets also highlight the Future Infantry Structure (FIS) period which was the last significant change in Infantry structures. The data also marks where operational deployments have been undertaken.

This historic data was not the primary decision making tool. It was only used once the forward looking demographic data had identified the first four battalions for withdrawal.

Annex C - Average Infantry Battalion Manning

This sheet was developed from the historic manning data and summarises the historic average surplus and deficit strength by battalion and ranks them in order of manning.

Annex D - Infantry Battalion Outflow

A set of three sheets showing the percentage outflows against strength by Battalion due to completion of service, premature voluntary release (PVR) and services no longer required (SNLR).

There are a number of reasons why personnel may opt for PVR – both personal and service related. Personnel may leave the Army due to SNLR for a number of administrative reasons, not all of which imply that the individual is at fault in any way.

Outflow was not a major influencing factor in the decision making process. There are so many variants– both personal decisions and service constraints - which contribute to outflow that it was not considered a reasonable driver for deletions.

Annex E - Commenting on the Logical Integrity of Regional Definitions/Boundaries

This sets out the difference between the existing Regional Boundaries used in the Army’s recruiting activities and the UK’s political and economic regional boundaries. This is important as the data used by the Army to determine the future demographics was collected from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) website and is based on slightly different geographic areas. The data had to be adjusted to reflect actual Infantry recruiting areas. It includes two maps which show the variation.

Annex F - Population Projection by the Office for National Statistics

This is an extract of 2010 data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showing the population projection out to 2020. ONS source data: 2010 - Based National Population Projections - published 23 November 2011

Annex G - Sustaining Regional Infantry Regiments – Recruiting Pool

This chart shows the number of males in the age bracket 15 to 29 years (which is the current Infantry recruiting pool) in both 2010 and 2020. The data has been derived from ONS source data: 2010 - Based National Population Projections - published 23 November 2011 (Annex F).

Annex H - Estimate of Sustainability

These tables show the outcome of the demographic work on how many battalions of manning are sustainable in the future.

Annex I - Sustaining Regional Infantry Regiments

There are three sets of this data at Regional, Divisional and Regimental level showing how we expect recruiting performance to vary between 2010 and 2020 in line with ONS population projections (Annex F). Each set of data has also been produced three times – baseline forecast, optimistic and pessimistic – to acknowledge that we have had to make some assumptions on how the population may change, thereby giving an expected view along with best and worst case scenarios.

Annex J - Assessment of Future Demographic Supply in Relation to Regimental Demand

This sheet shows how regimental sustainability will change as successive Battalions are removed, and which should be next in line for removal based solely on demographic information. It should be noted that after the removal of four battalions, and taking account of the criteria that there should be no Regimental cap badge deletions and no regiment losing more than one battalion, determining the fifth battalion to be withdrawn required the application of criteria that went wider than demographics.

‘COMMENTING ON THE LOGICAL INTEGRITY OF REGIONAL DEFINITIONS / BNDYS’.

BLUF:

• Army regional definitions (RF Brigades) do not correlate with political and economic regional identities in the East, East & West Midlands & North East. Seven infantry regiments (SG, IG, WG, RRF, YORKS, MERCIAN, RIFLES) have footprints which span the Army’s RF brigades. • The advent of the Recruit Partnering Project (RPP) presents an opportunity to better

identify future regional recruiting capacity to re-balance Inf recruiting. • The complexity & consequences of demographic data are not fully understood at present, but the presentation of statistics based on RF brigades is viable for decision support.

National Infantry Regiments.

1. A number of national infantry regiments exist: PARA (UK), GREN GDS & COLDM GDS (England), SCOTS, R IRISH, R WELSH.

English Regional Definition.

2. The UK Govt’s administrative definition of English regions is based upon European Parliamentary Constituency and English Regional Development Agency boundaries (Ref A). The Army definition of region is based upon the Regional Force lay down (Ref B). Infantry regional definition is based upon historical recruiting areas (Ref B). These definitions do not entirely correlate. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) collects data based on Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics (NUTS) divisions. NUTS 1 is the regional level. Again there is not precise correlation with other regional definitions. Realistically, it is prudent to assess that regional definitions will continue to evolve. Any, potentially painful, attempt to tie regimental footprints too tightly to these iterative definitions may be temporary. Of note, at lower levels, NUTS 2 & 3, the clarity of data available to support recruiting activity is significantly clearer. Demographic analysis can provide justification of decisions regarding infantry recruiting policies. Whilst ONS data is abundant, analysis to interpret the data has been limited, introducing subjectivity into judgements and sustainability conclusions. Whilst there is confusion in defining region (eg NUTS 1), the detailed nature of the NUTS 2 &3 data enables its modular use to support a given regional definition. There is high confidence in Army Regional data sets as an illustration of sustainability, but a more detailed analysis will better generate assumptions to support forecasting to withstand detailed public scrutiny.

Administrative Region versus Army Region, versus Regional Infantry Regiment.

3. The Army currently defines the English regions through its RF bde boundaries. In the South East, two RF bdes (2X & 145X) occupy one English region (though AVANTI will adjust this). Of greater concern, for the East & East Midlands, two English regions are represented by just one RF bde (49X). This situation is repeated in the North East and Yorks & Humber regions (15X). This is further complicated by the historic recruiting presence of RRF / MERCIAN / RIFLES in 49X and RRF / RIFLES in 15X. RRF, MERCIAN and RIFLES are considered regional infantry regiments yet their recruiting scope extends across more than one English region as a result of earlier amalgamations of antecedent regiments. National regiments also recruit in 15X and 49X including Scots, Welsh & Irish. The celtic Foot Guards regiments hold a unique position, having the

1 ANNEX E traditional right to recruit Englishmen from certain regions. SCOTS, R WELSH & R IRISH traditionally should only recruit descendants of their respective nations but have recently been allocated other English recruits.

4. Disentanglement of these regimental footprints carries some risk, but there is evidence to indicate that national or pan-regional regiments have too much opportunity to draw recruits without regard to the sustainment of more constrained regional regiments. For example, LANCS can only traditionally recruit in Lancashire, Merseyside or Greater Manchester, whereas RRF can recruit from Greater Manchester but are also able to recruit elsewhere, in some places with little or no infantry competition. Developing this theme further, emerging evidence indicates that the level of recruiting support to the infantry is not uniform across the regions; for example London provides fewer recruits per capita of population than some other regions. Whilst this requires further examination, it may be that regiments not tied to a single region could spearhead efforts to address this imbalance, especially if they have a more universal brand image. An improved understanding of regional demographics will better enable the prioritisation of recruits by region and regiment to ensure balance and sustainability.

5. RRF derives its regional identity from 4 dislocated areas within the North East, North West, West Midlands and London. Whilst there may be some benefit in redefining RRF as a national regiment, geographically the Regiment’s historical links are very tight (Scottish, Welsh and Irish Fusilier regiments having been absorbed elsewhere in the Infantry ORBAT). The RRF regional character is sound but there may be scope for better exploiting the Regiment’s pan-regional links & brand, noting strong historic connections with London.

6. RIFLES recruit from all of the English regions including London. It is the only regional infantry regiment for the South West but retains exclusive recruiting territories in the North East, in Yorkshire & Humber, in the West Midlands and in the South East. There may be benefit in redefining RIFLES as a national regiment, retaining existing historical links but also better exploiting the RIFLES strong brand to enable it to lead improved infantry recruiting in under- productive areas.

7. MERCIAN. Whilst RRF & RIFLES maintain brands which are supported by region, the MERCIAN brand is based upon region. However, the historic regionalism of the MERCIAN brand is compromised by blurring of the contemporary regions: The North West, West Midlands and East Midlands. In this context it finds itself competing not just with the national regiments (English FG & PARA) but also the RRF and RIFLES. Sustainment of the MERCIAN Regt is not best supported by the existing Army regional recruiting footprint, with recruiting responsibility split (as for a national regiment but without their scale of brand benefits). The MERCIAN example illustrates how recruiting activity could benefit from improved prioritisation of regional recruiting, intelligently sustaining purely regional regiments as well as those with wider footprints.

8. YORKS historically have a small footprint in 49X (NW). They remain essentially a Yorks & Humber regiment, in which a number of other regiments also recruit. YORKS would benefit from better prioritisation of recruiting as outlined in the MERCIAN example.

RPP

9. RPP offers an opportunity to adjust the Infantry recruit allocation and priorities. The shaping of recruit targets should reinforce regionalism within the infantry (with the associated regimental benefits) whilst sustaining battalions. This shaping should re-balance national, pan-regional and regional regimental demands and priorities without compromising historic precedent. This approach may be more resource intensive than simply targeting population density and subsequently allocating to demand. The benefits associated with the Infantry’s Regimental System must be borne in mind when balancing the cost of recruiting what is required, against recruiting just that which is most easily available.
