Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the British Army’s new Recce-Strike approach will come into effect.

In line with the outcome of the Strategic Defence Review, the Army will become ten times more lethal – Recce-Strike is a key element of this transformation, and sees a significant shift in how the Army prepares for and conducts warfare.

Fighting by Recce-Strike at every level is one element of how the British Army will fight and operate differently to achieve domain advantage over adversaries. Army’s Project ASGARD will enhance the Army’s ability to find (‘recce’) and destroy (‘strike’) enemy targets, and through Project WAVELL, the Army is adapting its structures, which combined with our modernisation programme, will align our capabilities to revise our approach set out in the Land Operating Concept.
