"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.

No word on when they can be 'officially' worn.
As to them being worn I would say we will see and update to A9 before or just after the issue starts. Can't have the troops wearing "Unauthorised" kit now can we
(Having said that how long was the UBACS on issue before the regs were updated???? and the Boonie hat has NEVER been included in A9 so everytime we wear one we are improperly dressed!!!)Last edited by apod; 10 October 2020, 11:21."Let us be clear about three facts.

Had a look at the DCoS(SP) Letter of Instruction on the issue of the boots today. Sizing to kick off tomorrow with size rolls returned ASAP. Bulk issues to units commencing on a phased basis with priority being given to Operational units starting with the BDE's as outlined by Rhodes above. All issues to be completed by the week before Christmas with permission to wear coming into effect on 01 January 21.Only personnel who have not been previously issued them already(Overseas issue) since 2018 being issued a new pair although FWT issues can occur following a detailed inspection of the old pair.
Worn for Operational use only(one would assume that encompasses duties and Fitness tests etc but A9 amendment when it comes will cover that hopefully).
Black Haix being withdrawn for disposal once issues complete with Inductees continuing to be issued new stock of Black Haix until all gone.Last edited by apod; 13 October 2020, 21:35."Let us be clear about three facts.

A positive move in one way.I still have doubts about Soldiers abilities to maintain them due to a lack of proper issued maintenance products and I reckon this could lead to a a lot of boots being ruined.
Now all we have to do is sort out the Barracks boots. Brown Magnums anyone???"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman.

I concur with Fantasia. The sole of the boot is too inflexible. Where other countries, eg our BA neighbors are going down the road of hybrid boot/runners which in my opinion makes sense. We’re meant to be incredibly mobile on a hypothetical battle field.
BA are currently sporting AKU which is far easier and looking at both Solomon and cloudrock. Waterproof and support yet designed to be running or mobileSir I cant find my peltors........Private they are on your face
