Same happening in the MOD, civilian positions have been cut but there is a noticeable increase of people dressed in green filling these positions.
The bigger issue with MOD posts is they are generally an 18 month postings. In my experience soldiers generally have one goal and that's promotion, and they will use the posting to enhance their promotional prospects. This can mean that long term issues are brushed under the carpet to concentrate on simple non-issues that are achievable in the timescale to make themselves look good.
