This process is called Army 2020 Refine (A2020) and more detail was provided in the statement by the then Secretary of State for Defence on 15 December 2016 [HCWS367], and the answer I gave on 11 December 2017 to Question 117878.</p><p>A2020(R) is also reviewing how the Army's light infantry units are structured within 1st (UK) Division to ensure they are optimised to deliver the outputs required. This could see a change in the current attribution of combat units to Brigades, including 38 (Irish) Brigade, but will have no impact on the Army's footprint in Northern Ireland. No decisions have been considered by Ministers at this point.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster attachment 1 file name 117878 - Strike Experimentation Group.docx title 117878 - Strike Experimentation Group 2 file name HCWS367 - Stategic Defence and Security Review - Army.docx title HCWS367 - SDSR - Army question first answered 11/03/2019 16:57:26 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
