[The size of the British army will be reduced
to 72,500 personnel, and the RAF will have
its air cargo and personnel carriers drastically
cut as part of the biggest overhaul of
the armed forces in decades.
Under plans revealed by the
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, the army will
shrink to its smallest size since the 1700s
but will be reorganised to face modern
threats and equipped with new technology.

A newly-created special operations force,
called the Rangers, will be deployed regularly
to embed alongside foreign militaries
to prevent conflicts and a new
Security Force Assistance Brigade will be
established to train international partners.]


Was expected.
