Informing the Army’s Future Structure

[Remius]

Jesus christ they want to create 3x Bde Sigs Regts and a Div Sigs Regt? We are barely scraping together 60% of 3 Bdes now.

It’s the steady state by 2040.

Still ambitious.

Absolutely. As long as they dont create the Bde before the combat support trades are ready to actually support we might get there.

Para 21 Army Sigs Regiment

In conjunction with everything else does this mean

A regiment at Army
A regiment at both Divs (both deployable)
A regiment at the three Manoeuvre Brigades

And, because each of the Light, Fires and Support Brigades are also to be independently deployable, three more regiments for them?

Not to mention the Sigs demand for each of the 10 territorial brigades, the IRUs, the ARCGs and these CARBohydrate thingies.

Not to worry though...
