Description[?]:
| FORT WILLIAM, ORANGE — The government today released its long-awaited plans for military reforms, a pledge to review which being among the few points in the manifesto its candidates campaigned on. Under the proposed reforms the active-service forces will become a professional, volunteer-only core, with increased pay and a look to equipment modernisation. Currently conscripted to the active-service forces for a year upon reaching adulthood, 18-to-35-year-old men will instead automatically serve in their county's yeomanry, receiving military training and only to be called up in the event of national emergency. "Along with promoting local identity and imperial loyalty, this will also work to build cross-class solidarity, with labourers, clerks, and squire's sons of the same county all serving together," said the defence secretary Thomas Masterman, after whom the government's proposals have been dubbed the 'Masterman Reforms'. In practice, a strong divide between the classes and masses exists within the conscript forces; where the working class are alotted to the infantry, the upper class are to the ceremonial guards units. |
