MoD unveils third round of Army job cuts
The Ministry of Defence has announced a third round of Army redundancies.
Up to 5,300 job losses were outlined by the government. These are part of cuts already announced to reduce Army numbers from 102,000 to 82,000 by 2017,
Defence minister Mark Francois said the MoD would ensure it retained the capabilities the Armed Forces required "in order to meet the challenges of the future".
The overall aim is to help plug a £38bn hole in the defence budget.
