From news article:
The biggest cuts will occur in the army, which will lose 16 percent of their personnel. Thus by the end of the decade the army will be reduced to 84,000 troops. The British Army has not been that small since 1900. It's all part of a process that began when the Cold War ended. Twenty years on, nations are still undergoing post-Cold War reductions. In Britain that means even sharper reductions for the air force and navy. But the army also has to adapt to a world with fewer enemies (at least ones with massive armed forces) and new technology that makes troops more effective than in the recent past.But the British Army has another problem, attracting enough recruits to maintain its current authorized strength of 100,000 troops. This problem is not a new one. Five years ago, the British Army revealed that it was short about 3,000 infantry. The situation has not improved much. The sharp reducing in army strength is expected to help with recruiting problems. September 13, 2011: Britain recently announced their first round of personnel cuts in the military. The Royal Air Force (RAF) cut 930 personnel and the army 920. There will be four more rounds of cuts that will eventually reduce military strength by 22,000. This is an 11.5 percent reduction of the current force of 191,000.
