Future Soldier reorganisation On 25 November 2021, the Future Soldier programme was announced, which is due to be completed by 2030 and will reorganise the British Army from bottom to top. The role of "Field Army Troops" has been described as follows: "Field Army Troops – will centrally command high-demand, low-volume capabilities."
Under the new programme, the name 'Field Army Troops' was re-established, but was later renamed to Land Forces Troops in March 2026, upon the Field Army being renamed to Land Forces Command.
