More Personnel Cuts Coming For The British Military

Gurkhas To Be Hit Again As Armed Forces Prepare To Axe 4,500 Jobs -- The Guardian

Army expected to cut between 2,000 and 3,000 posts, RAF 1,000 and navy 500 in second tranche of redundancies.

The military will be seeking to axe up to 4,500 jobs across the three services in the second tranche of a sweeping redundancy programme that will be launched next week.

The army is under greatest pressure and is expected to cut between 2,000 and 3,000 posts this year as it attempts to reduce its fighting force from more than 100,000 to 82,000 by 2020.

The RAF will need to make up to 1,000 redundancies in 2012, and the Royal Navy an estimated 500 - though that should be the end of the process for them.
