We’ve got three years to prepare for war, says head of the army

“We have just enough time … to prepare, act, and assure the re-establishment of credible land forces to support a strategy of deterrence,” he told the land warfare conference at the Royal United Services Institute. He said that the “need is urgent” and although the UK was not on an “inexorable path to war” credible hard power must be restored in order to provide deterrence.
