MoD Cuts: The Army

After the Ministry of Defence announced that 91 of its military sites would be disposed of by 2040, we take a look at what British Army assets will be affected.
 
The MoD says the move will provide £140 million of savings in running costs over the next decade, rising to nearly £3 billion by 2040, which it says will be reinvested in defence.
