The issue is that it’s not HQAC who are the DDH it’s Region.
Great example would be when the No8 was coming to the end of its service life, some Regions made units hand them back and immediately cease using the day they went out of date despite a lack of replacement at the time. Others said “ah it’s a massively over engineered .22 keep using it for now”, I. The info has come straight from Corps the ability of RC’s to make sensible decisions would have been taken away.
