The small reduction in the size of the Army will ensure a force that will be more effectively matched to current and future threats. The significant reorganisation of force structures and re-balancing between arms and services will result in a small reduction in the numbers of the Infantry. There will be no redundancies to military personnel and the workforce will be re-apportioned to other roles in the Army.
