Earl Attlee

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the Army controls the amount of mileage covered by armoured tracked vehicles; and what measures and methods are used. [HL3849]

Lord Bach

Allocations for mileage covered by tracked vehicles are determined by the role and the required readiness states of units and formations. The track mileage required to support the Army's training programme is provided by the users of the vehicles (Land Command and the Army Training and Recruiting Agency (ATRA)) to the Defence Logistics Organisation by means of a customer/supplier agreement. This process ensures that the activity level planned is supportable and sustainable within resource limits. During the training year Land Command and ATRA monitor and report track mileage so that adjustments reallocations can be made if needed.
