Given the situation in NI at the time, this was not an unreasonable question for the govt. to ask of it's DF. It's all part of the decision making process at their level. Sadly, it was a lost opportunity to begin a real investment in the DF, develop real defense strategies with the relevant long term investments. So we womble along and have the DF of today, essentially a gendarmerie style force but no real defense capability and none unlikely in the future.

Sounds like the sort of thing I would have expected them to do - and indeed have on file and update regularly. In the same way I expect a filling cabinet in Whitehall has plans in how to invade the South, The Netherlands, Belgum, France, Scotland, etc.
Academic exercises, if nothing else.'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

I did a plan for RAF Shannon at staff college - it was a lot more than 8 pages - for the higher command course I know of one plan that involved the recapture of the Duchy of Normandy...
An 8 page report however isn't the random stuff you do at staff college, it's a euphemism for 'you are, I assume, fcuking joking...?' that someone prepares when there's an idiot politician on the prowl.

It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.
