  briefed in March and July 2007. Work has
  commenced with Army to develop an agreed Defence
  position on Armys future force structure in

  and total project. Concurrent work underway to
  specify in more detail the future mechanised,
  cavalry and mounted infantry battle group
  requirements to support cost and priorities for
  Phase 1. The RFI conducted in 2006 has been
  critical to identify the likely total cost of the
  project.
