  • Never said RFT. But yes. Correct.
    "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

      • Nothing yet. DFCC Q1 meeting is at end of the month. I thought we might have seen a RFT for the new operational uniform by now but still no sign. More and more AR are being issued the brown Haix. Good to see.

          Heard a ballhop that the kick off date of the new uniform has pushed out a further 4 months

                            I'd heard rumours of a push, but not as big as what you quoted....

                            • Current contract runs out early 2024. They won’t want a gap. They like to have a new tender in place so there’s an overlap to avoid bare shelves.I heard they may be looking at other options they hadn’t previously been aware of so any delay is probably just due diligence.
