An Army is essential. We need, ideally, one around 180,000 to 200,000 strong.
The British Army is, generally, a pretty decent one and they only improve with operational experience. Wars and conflicts, whilst not eminently desired, do generally help to build understanding of how to approach scenarios through experience. One thing counts above all else in warfare - experience. That's why the US armed forces are the best, because they are continually engaged in all sorts of conflicts all over the world and have a military structure that is geared towards understanding how to fight all sorts of opponents, whether it be asymmetric, conventional or whatever, and to learn from the experience. I am concerned that the Russians will take the experience of fighting the Ukrainians into a future conflict with NATO across the Polish, Romanian and Baltic states.
Or perhaps we should be looking at a hot country given the Middle East seems to be a bit of a hot spot for this sort of thing?
I note Arsenal's form has improved no end since their warm weather training break in Dubai and it could have a similar galvanising effect on The British Army. Failing all that we could always pick another ruck with the Irish, it doesn't take much to put their backs up, and go into Belfast all guns blazing!
Thoughts...?
Obviously, prince Harry would be the president and use his organisational skills to make it a roaring success. You could have "urban" events and tank and field. Precision bombing and head to head blitzkrieg disciplines.
