Indeed, the pandemic has had a major influence on the work of the Association and Officers’ Club and, in particular, on our ability to get together. I do, however, know just how hard members have worked to keep in touch with each other, using applications which have now become so familiar to us, which previously we might never have considered using. I was particularly disappointed that we were forced through circumstances to cancel Corps Weekend. We were, however, fortunate that COVID-19 restrictions at that time allowed for a small group to gather at our Corps Church, St Michael and St George.

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.

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.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

  • 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.
