Recommendation 110
110
UK Armed Forces' broad commitments are delaying development of vital warfighting readiness.
Conclusion
The UK Armed Forces have sufficient Readiness for operations—they can carry out standing operations and contingent commitments. However, the breadth of their commitments is having an inevitable impact, in terms of budget requirements, subsequent constraints on training and the retention of personnel. It also appears to be delaying the development of warfighting readiness.
