Recommendation 6
6
Assess whether Armed Forces reductions will likely reduce capacity for MACA tasks.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Defence should assess whether continued reductions in the size of the Armed Forces will likely result in Defence accepting fewer MACA tasks requested by Government over the coming decades, and if so should ensure wider Government is fully aware of the implications of this, including the need for alternative non-regular- forces capacity.
