From Secretary of State to Viceroy, Army Departmen t.
11th December 1906.
P.— The question of the strength of the garrison at Aden tcill shortly he
considered by the Committee of Imperial Defence. It is represented by the
TVar Office that the retention of a battalion of British Infantry is dis
advantageous both from the point of view of Army organisation and that of
the training of the troops and their comfort. A very considerable reduction
of the fixed armament is recommended by General Owen's Committee. It is
understood that the Admiralty do not consider the place to be liable to serious
attach; and that under present conditions a small proportion only of the
existing movable armament is necessary. It is proposed by the War Office
that the following should be reduced ; the whole battalion of British Infantry,
one company of Garrison Artillery, the section of Submarine Miners and
one battalion Native Infantry ; and it is considered that, in the event of it
being desired to retain the second Native regiment and the company of
Artillery, they should be looked upon as mobile troops available for service in
the interior and not as forming part of the garrison. Blease let me have, as
soon as practicable, your views on the obligatory garrison proposed, and on
the force required for the Hinterland, in view of the policij recently laid
down by His Majesty's Government, the force for the Hinterland being
regarded as distinct from the garrison of Aden itself.
