Two new 5,000-strong strike forces will be formed to take
on Islamic State terrorists, David Cameron announces today.He will put £12billion aside to create Britains
fastest-ever rapid reaction troops as fears grow of a 10-year campaign.
New military hardware is “vital” at a time “when the
threats to our country are growing”,
Cameron said, citing the rise of IS as a
major reason for the additional purchases.
The Prime Minister added: “We cannot choose between
conventional defences against state-based threats and the need to counter
threats that do not recognise national borders.
“Today we face both and we must respond to both.”
