MP pushing defence ministers to produce evidence for decision By News Reporter RADICAL plans to restructure the Army will see Northumberland’s local regiment lose an entire battalion in two years’ time. Under the Strategic Defence and Security Review, the Second Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers will be axed in 2014, with the loss of 600 personnel. The First Battalion, made up of professional soldiers, will remain untouched, while the Fifth Battalion – which is Territorial Army and has a strong presence in the county – will benefit from a £1.8bn plan over the next ten years to boost reserve forces. The government’s aim is to double the number of reservists by 2020, from 15,000 to 30,000, and fully integrate them into a ‘flexible’ fighting force. ‘High-readiness reaction forces’ will meet the Army’s contingency tasks and comprise an air assault brigade with two attack helicopter regiments and three armoured infantry brigades equipped with upgraded Warrior infantry fighting vehicles, Challenger tanks, and the new Scout vehicle.
Battalion of Fusiliers set to be disbanded The ‘adaptable forces’ will be based on a regional footprint and held at a lower state of readiness. They will be made up of seven infantry brigades, comprised of paired regular and reserve units. They will provide further capacity when required and be able to generate additional brigadesized forces for longer-term
