We have allocated an additional £1.8 billion over 10 years to ensure that reservists will receive the kit and the training they need to meet their future roles.
As part of their fully integrated role under Army 2020, equipment is now being delivered to the reserves. This includes modern vehicles, such as refurbished weapons mounted installations kit Land Rovers (RWMIK) with the delivery of the initial tranche of 48 starting in October 2012, and a further 12 for a training fleet being delivered once they are no longer required for Operation HERRICK training, Land Rovers (784 by December 2012) and the latest MAN support vehicles (876 by March 2013); Bowman radios, previously withdrawn from the reserves in 2008-09, now available for issue in September 2012 and overseas training exercises from October 2012; and personal combat system combat uniform (issued to all personnel by March 2013).

Sabretaches are no longer an official item of dress and they are not provided at public expense.
The wearing of sabretaches by the British light cavalry started in the late 18th century, but it is clear from the 1911 British Army Dress Regulations that sabretaches were no longer provided at public expense by that time. Neither the War Office Dress Committee, which first met in 1946, nor the Army Dress Committee that succeeded it, have authorised any regiment or corps to wear sabretaches since 1945. However, we are aware that some regiments have, on occasion, worn sabretaches for commemorative parades; this is acceptable providing they are of the correct regimental pattern and historically accurate.
(2) when the wearing of sabretaches was sanctioned by the Army Dress Committee.
