Synopsis
Excerpt from Army Reform and Other Addresses
Whether I have done that the House will judge after it has heard me; but in the survey I have applied this test and this only. I have rejected - and I should suggest that they ought to be rejected as unnecessary allthe things that do not make for fighting efficiency. Fighting efficiency is the one test to which we should submit propositions which arise at a time when we have none too much money. If we had Army Estimates of a year to play with I could suggest many things Which would be delightful and interesting; but if this Parliament has been returned pledged to any thing, it is to cutting down unnecessary expenditure. I have therefore felt it my duty to scan the Estimates and our military policy with a View to seeing how much could be eliminated which did not make for fighting efficiency and fighting efficiency only. When we have to look into our household affairs we find often that we have to put down our carriages and horses and our champagne, and perhaps our cigars; and I am not sure that we are always the worse for the process.
Now, Sir, I shall come at once to what I have to put before the House of Commons, and in coming to it I wish to say this - I approach the problem with a sense of the enormous difficulties which my predecessors had to contend with and I have to contend with. The work of keeping down the cost of the Army cannot be the work of one Secretary of State or one Party only. It must be a continuous process. If you try to reduce the bulk of a patient by cutting off his leg, you may get down his weight, but you will not do him any good.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful volume examines the British Army during a period of transformation in the early 1900s. With the global political landscape rapidly evolving, the author analyzes the challenges and debates surrounding the Army's structure and its role in contemporary military strategy. The book focuses on reevaluating historical assumptions about the Army's organization and its deployment in the context of rapid technological advancements, shifting political alliances, and the growing realization that wars could be fought on a scale never seen before. By probing complex issues such as the impact of new technologies on warfare, the author offers profound insights into the connection between policy and military strategy, questioning the assumptions that had guided previous military planning. The book also presents clear arguments for reducing the Army's budget while increasing its effectiveness. Providing us with a deeper understanding of the British Army's evolution, this book will appeal to military strategists, historians, and anyone interested in the intricacies of military organization.
