I would say the manning is the real problem. If we are talking about a modern day force, nothing sci-fi, nothing WW2-ish, something of today I think from scratch you are looking at about 5 years plus to train and gain experience to build a mechanised infantry brigade in terms of personnel. And to make a worthwhile field force, something the size of the UK's contribution to GW1, it would take some effort. Think about all the trades and skills that would have to be learned and honed, never mind the management and leadership skills. Also consider British forces are very good at remembering the when of campaigns of history but not very good at remembering the how.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440640503681625170noreply@blogger.com
