Of the 130 recommendations of the commission, 48 have been accepted, 55 have been accepted in principle, 17 are subject to further evaluation and ten are to revert to Government. In respect of areas such as the chain of command and so on, I will revert to Government. In terms of the disposition of units and so on, there is work to be done and significant evaluation is required in respect of those recommendations. Later today, I will publish the up-to-date progress report on the delivery of these recommendations from the commission. It will be some time before a decision is made in respect of the headquarters or regional disposition of the Army.
