UK must be ready to fight war in three years, says Army
Britain must be ready to fight a war in three years, the new head of the Army has said.
Gen Sir Roland Walker has warned against a range of threats in what he called an "increasingly volatile" world.
But he said war was not inevitable and the Army had "just enough time" to prepare itself to avoid conflict.
Central to this was doubling the Army's fighting power by 2027 and tripling it by the end of the decade, he said.
In his first speech in the role on Tuesday, Gen Walker said the UK faced danger from an "axis of upheaval".
Well that should at least stop any ideas of Germany joining Tempest.
