Suggestions

The decision the form the Palestine Regiment was established by the British War Cabinet in the fall of 1939. The source of frustration was Palestine at the time. The British garrison consisted of no fewer than eleven infantry battalions and only two cavalries. In the early moments of World War II didn't just face the manpower problem also the shortage of weapons, artillery and supplies. Because they were so desperate the British started recruiting troops who would have would have to do because they didn't have time to train them all because most of the first line units were sacrificed. These circumstances mandated the government to use new reserves for duties that require little to no training, transport or supply, civil defense and guard duty. It seemed possible that the British War Cabinet that Palestine was ready for this kind of build up. Sir Charles Tegart initiated the police training projects after the 1936 Arab revolt, were nearly complete by 1939. The British recruiters in Palestine had enjoyed at least moderate success in forming the units of the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps (AMPC), which was hoped would be upgraded once the equipment and supplies became available. The War Cabinet commanded the the study of the Palestine manpower situational most simultaneously with the announcement by Dr. Chaim Weizmann of the offer he gave to help increase the entire Jewish division for the services in the British Army.^[1] Marshall Zittergruen (talk) 03:52, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Marshall Zittergruen[reply]
