Default Re: British Army Orbat C.2020-25

Equipment is always the problem. You can fairly easily expand a cadre military into a full sized force. But when they US did so in the late 1930 they wound up training with brooms in place of rifles and had a devil of a time just equipping the 1st MarDiv for Guadalcanal in August 1942.

That's one thing the politicians always seem to forget, soldiers need equipment and that takes time to manufacture.
