UK Unveils ‘Future Soldier’ military modernization plan

British defense secretary Ben Wallace has announced that the UK will radically reorganize its military to address next-generation threats around the globe.

Dubbed the Future Soldier program, the military reconfiguration would see the nation spending an additional eight billion pounds ($10.6 billion) for new high-powered equipment and a new ranger regiment that could help counter extremist organizations and hostile threats.

Furthermore, the program will seek to transform the British army into a more agile, lethal, expeditionary, and modernized war-fighting force with improved capabilities for various military missions.
