British Army unveils “most radical transformation”program

The British Army has unveiled ‘Future Soldier’ today, its most radical transformation programme in over 20 years.

This will be bolstered by an additional investment of £8.6 billion in The British Army equipment over the next ten years.

British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said:

“Future Soldier is reinforced by the ambition outlined in the Defence Command Paper to transform the Army into a more agile, integrated, lethal, expeditionary force.

We have underpinned this generational work with an extra £8.6bn for Army equipment, bringing the total investment to £41.3bn.

Our Army will operate across the globe, equipped with the capabilities to face down a myriad of threats from cyber warfare through to battlefield conflict.”
