I am satisfied with the progress made to date in increasing the strength of the Army.
The position in regard to transport, while improving steadily, is not yet as satisfactory as I would like. Many of the vehicles ordered in the last financial year have yet to be delivered. These are expected shortly and I intend to have further substantial purchases of vehicles made this year.
