The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 17 September 2025 to Question 76411 on Ajax Vehicles, by when armoured infantry doctrine will be rewritten to reflect the change in capability from Warrior to ARES.

Answered by Luke Pollard

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Rayleigh and Wickford (Mr Francois) to Question 77473, which remains extant and explains there is no direct replacement for Warrior.

The British Army continually review all doctrine and make amendments as required. As the ARES platform is delivered into service, tactical doctrines will be reviewed accordingly.
