Book excerpt: Army 2020 is an ambitious programme of change and restructuring which responds to the Government's need to reduce public spending, including on defence. It seeks, for the first time, to integrate fully a regular Army of 82,500 with a larger and more frequently used Army Reserve of 30,000. The Department did not test feasibility, or adequately consult the Army, before deciding to reduce the regular Army and increase the Army Reserve. We recognise that the decision to reduce the size of the Army was driven by the need to make financial savings in a time of austerity. However, it is remarkable that the Chief of the General Staff was not involved in all stages of the decision-making process given the magnitude and importance of the change required, and its impact on the service which he commands. We were also surprised to learn that the Department did not test the feasibility of recruiting and training the number of reserve soldiers it needs by 2019. The Department is confident that it can still recruit and train the required number of reserves by 2019, but we remain to be convinced given that its confidence is based on unevidenced assumptions. For future significant reviews of the armed forces, the Department should involve relevant stakeholders fully in the decision-making process, and ensure adequate testing of the feasibility for proposed actions.
