<p>There are currently no plans to reverse the decision to reduce the number of regular
Army personnel to 73,000. The Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper made clear
that we must focus on Defence capability rather than troop numbers in response to
changing threats and priorities. The British Army will be more integrated and active,
with a whole force of over 100,000 regulars and reservists, to address current and
future threats.</p><p> </p><p>We are continuing to monitor the situation globally,
including in Ukraine, and, in line with planning and delivery mechanisms developed
following the Integrated Review, we will continue to review our capabilities and readiness
levels accordingly.</p>
