ARMY: DEPLOYMENT

13th May 2019

Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the estimate he has made of the deployment period for the Heavy Forces.

Mark Lancaster, Minister of State for the Armed Forces: For reasons of operational security, the Ministry of Defence does not disclose detailed information regarding the readiness of formations and units. That readiness will be constructed from many components, including training, the preparedness of personnel, and logistic enablers. The speed of deployment would also be dependent on the nature of the threat, capabilities required and geography of deployment.
