    remember when we had enough capability to move our own stuff, didn't need to outsource to civvie companies. defence cuts over too many years have reduced the forces to a mere shadow of what they were.

    I wonder why they are using some civilian contractors to move military equipment around that’s never a good sign that means they haven’t got enough of their own heavy loaders to move the equipment around so they use civilian contractors with low loaders or they haven’t got enough trained drivers to move them all in one go whichever way not good. I’m probably gonna get some criticism for this but I always think it’s bad when you see the army having to fall back on contractors to get their equipment moved if they can’t move their own equipment, in peace time something is seriously wrong. Just make you wonder how prepared they would be if they actually needed to mobilise.for real

      I'm ex British forces and they don't have enough HET vehicles or class 1 drivers. They have disbanded 3 regiments of heavy lift transportation since 92 and only have 2 left. They have about 100 HETS left, which the let from a private company. The British army and forces have been gutted to the point that they cannot hold any ground that they take in a conflict. They would have to keep on fighting for the same ground, to stop getting cut of from brigade. We only have about 112 tanks left and about 35 of them are in bits. Fucking politicians.

      Simple fact is armoured vehicles arent allowed to use public roads (they are too heavy and shred them), so have to be low loaded. If they are only moved a handful of times a year for exercises its cheaper to contract it out than pay a bunch of blokes to sit around doing knack all, and maintain a fleet of vehicles doing the same. Its happened across the forces, most of us have multi role jobs now as there arent enough personnel to cover everything

    Using those ex rlc heavy equipment transporters is chronic over kill and probably costing way more than a normal truck. It's the equivalent of sending a parcel with parcel force or driving it yourself.
