General Patrick Sanders, UK's Chief of the General Staff, advises British citizens to ready for a potential land war, emphasizing a "whole-of-nation undertaking." Sanders highlights the need for a credible land force, stating the UK cannot rely solely on navy and air power. The call for preparedness comes amid a reduction in the professional army's numbers. Sanders urges steps to place society on a war footing, advocating for a British Army of 120,000 within the next three years. The move aligns with global concerns, as Ukraine exemplifies that citizen armies play a crucial role in winning wars.
