Hong Kong and the ASU. Before the cessation of accompanied
service in FY 96/97 all remaining logistic support, equipment
support and administrative elements should be combined into a
smaller logistic regiment, which would conduct the final
handover.
C.
Logistic Support for Reinforcement.
In order to allow units
in Theatre to drawdown while retaining the capability to provide
full support to reinforcements on operations, additional logistic
units should be added to the reinforcement plan (JTP 30). These
should include a transport squadron (less general purpose
vehicles), a field workshop, elements of a field hospital and a
field ambulance on light scales.
d.
Stock Levels. Stocks in Theatre should be reduced to the
minimum operationally acceptable levels as soon as possible.
These reductions in capability should be compensated for by
increases to JTP 30.
e.
Service.
The ending of
Cessation of Accompanied
accompanied service in August 1996 (UK personnel) and November
1996 (Gurkha personnel) will allow the reduction of most
remaining support elements to the level required to support the
final (roulement) UK battalion group.
