Put it this way, the RE as of January this year have had to spread is manning across its regiments so each can be at 52% manned, thats including the non-deployable!! The Army as a whole cannot recruit , is allowing anyone to join to plug the gaps but is losing personnel at 3-1 (3 leaving to 1 joining)
In another way of looking at it, there’s more people in the Etiad than they have deployable in the Army.
So no we cannot be utilised to patrol our streets, we are helping transport supplies and help with the NHS and that’s as much as we can go.
