The British Army has been ordered to stop non-essential training exercises as it tries to save money under budget pressure.
The pause will affect collective training exercises for units based in the United Kingdom and is expected to last for most of the year. The order does not apply to troops preparing for deployment, serving on deployments, on standby or assigned to quick-reaction roles.
Those forces will continue to train as normal, while other UK-based units face a suspension of their collective exercises.
