British Army units based in the UK that are not preparing for deployment have been told to reduce or stop non-essential training exercises as the service seeks to manage cost pressures.
The instruction applies to units that are not currently getting ready to be deployed. Their training activity is being scaled back where it is considered non-essential, according to the information supplied.
The move means affected units will carry out fewer training exercises while financial pressures remain. The supplied material does not specify how long the restrictions will last, how much money is expected to be saved or whether essential training will be affected.
No further details on the Army’s wider financial position, the units involved or any planned changes to the policy have been provided.
