Always remembered, never forgotten💚
As a mark of respect and to honour the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces, please join us for a two-minute silence for Armistice Day at 11am.
#ArmisticeDay#WeWillRememberThem#RemembranceDay
As we continue to support the UK Defence Industry on a wide range of critical projects, we will pause today to remember those who have given their lives to defend our freedom. We will also acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of every person who has served, or continues to serve, in our armed forces.

The Canadian Armed Forces were not properly equipped to fight the War in Afghanistan until they were already withdrawn from that un-winnable conflict.
Today the CAF remains well configured to fight a counter-insurgency against an ill equipped foe. However, there is nothing on the order boks to indicate that the military braintrust is preparing to fight a near-peer conventional war...like the one that has been raging in Ukraine for two and a half years. It is time to target, which war are we planning to fight next?

I don't think this is something new it's been known for sometime.
The report highlights that the UK Armed Forces are currently equipped with sufficient readiness for operations, enabling them to fulfill standing and contingent commitments. Positive.
However, the breadth of these commitments is straining budgets, constraining training opportunities, and impacting personnel retention. known known
Additionally, the report acknowledges the existence of potential challenges or threats on the horizon, metaphorically described as "storm clouds," indicating the need for preparedness and proactive measures. known unknown.
main recommendations:
1. Addressing the strain on budgets caused by extensive commitments to alleviate constraints on training and personnel retention. known known.
2. Prioritising the development of warfighting readiness to ensure preparedness for potential future challenges or threats. known known.
3. Implementing proactive measures to address potential challenges or threats indicated by the metaphorical "storm clouds" on the horizon. known unknown.
definition of readiness:
The report defines readiness as the capability of the UK Armed Forces to carry out standing operations and contingent commitments effectively. This includes being adequately prepared, equipped, and trained to fulfill operational tasks as required.

The report on Armed Forces Readiness has been published and I can’t say it makes for enjoyable reading. I suspect for a large number of my military colleagues this will bring many long-standing frustrations (and realities) into public consciousness and awareness more than before 😕
