Sitrep’s looking this week into the future of the Army with its new head warning the UK has three years to be ready to deter conflict or fight a war.
General Sir Roly Walker’s talked about an "increasingly volatile world" but he said war isn’t inevitable and Britain has "just enough time to prepare".
He says he wants to double the Army’s fighting power in three years – and triple it by the end of the decade and he’s stressed the need to modernise quickly using technology like AI.
Sitrep will be asking how achievable his plans are? And what would they mean for soldiers and how they fight?
And in the latest of our series about key events in people’s lives, we hear about the moment that made Andrew Fox after 8 years in the Army… passing P-Company to earn his maroon beret and become a Para.
Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.
