Petition Seek to create a UK civilian army of 250,000 troops
We believe our country must establish a fully trained and equipped volunteer civilian army to a scale whereby the UK can quickly mobilise 250,000+ combat-ready troops in the event of the outbreak of war with another country.
More details
With the slashing of the numbers of military personnel over recent years, I personally worry that the UK might be ill-prepared to win a war. I think we are relying too heavily on technology over troop numbers, but technology alone cannot win wars.
For the sake of our country and our children's futures, we believe we must have a true mass reserve of combat-ready civilian troops that can be scaled up at a moment's notice to fight for King and Country.
