Conclusion
Furthermore, the Department acknowledged that even if all the Army equipment in the Plan was delivered, that would not guarantee it could provide an operational division. This is because the current Plan does not address some risks, such as the need for “joint enablers” which facilitate operations.35 The Department provided examples of the capabilities that the Army would need to address these risks, such as an improved ability to strike with precision at long-range, more comprehensive integrated missile defence against air attack and medical supply chains able to deal with multiple casualties.36 34 Qq 105, 106 35 Q 33 36 Qq 48, 94 12 MoD Equipment Plan 2022–2032 2 Delivering the Equipment Plan Internal savings and adjustments
