Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of the Army
I have advocated and for the Army budget which that redistribution would involve have been completely recast. Instead of making my basis our present standard of military strength and showing how that standard could be maintained consistently with a very great reduction of expenditure, I have on reconsideration preferred to work up to our present 'normal' expenditure as my outside limit, and to show how, keeping well within that expenditure, we might maintain a far more powerful and effective Army than at present. But the principle of the redistribution which I have advocated remains the same, and is equally applicable, and, I believe, equally sound, whether our military budget is reduced, kept constant, or even increased.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex military needs of the British Empire in the early 20th century, in the wake of the transformative experiences of the Second Boer War. The author, a keen observer of British military strategy, offers a critical analysis of the existing system and proposes radical changes to meet the demands of the time. The book argues that Britain's military strategy should focus on safeguarding its far-flung Empire, and that the standing army should be strategically deployed in key regions to serve as a 'striking arm' rather than being primarily concentrated in the United Kingdom. It also emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive approach to military preparedness, including improved training, streamlined organization, and a more robust recruitment system. The insights in this book remain relevant today, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by nations seeking to maintain a strong and effective military presence in a rapidly changing world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
