David Cameron will today pledge to create two 5,000-strong strike brigades that can be rapidly deployed to war zones or to thwart terror attacks.
Backed up by 600 armoured vehicles, the units are the centrepiece of the Prime Minister’s long-awaited strategic defence and security review.
In a statement to MPs, he will announce £178billion of spending on defence equipment over the next decade, £12billion more than planned. It follows years of cuts that have seen troop numbers slump from 102,000 to 82,000.
