Britain's navy is set to be a major focus of the country's defence overhaul. LONDON: The United Kingdom government will on Monday unveil much-anticipated military modernisation plans, vowing to bolster its defence of British interests"across multiple domains and in all corners of the globe".
The army will create a new special operations Ranger Regiment which would"be able to operate discreetly in high-risk environments and be rapidly deployable across the world", the ministry said. "Across a vast global footprint, we will be constantly operating to deter our adversaries and reassure our friends, integrating with our allies, and ready to fight should it be necessary."The defence paper comes less than a week after the government published a broader overhaul of Britain's security, defence and foreign policy, billed as the biggest since the Cold War era.
It also pledges £120 million to establish an army special operations brigade and the new Ranger Regiment, which is set to be involved in what the Ministry of Defence called"collective deterrence" with partner forces.
