One illustrative force plan combines Boxer-based strike brigades, a Royal Marines formation able to provide forward presence and rapid reaction, a parachute brigade, and an armoured element. The proposal links ground formations to air mobility and amphibious lift. Roughly three landing helicopter docks would let the maritime force move and sustain troops rather than merely announce a forward posture. This is an example rather than an official programme. Its wider lesson is that additional funding should produce balanced formations with transport and support instead of a collection of disconnected equipment purchases.

An illustrative force plan shows how extra money could build coherent deployable formations instead of buying isolated prestige platforms.
