A World War II-era citizens militia will reportedly be revived in an attempt to better protect British facilities such as power plants and airports from hostile states and terrorists.
The Sunday Times says a government review is recommending a home guard be established, using several thousand volunteers, who would be deployed to safeguard assets, which would also include telecommunications sites which facilitate Britain’s internet access.
Volunteers would be drawn from the civilian population and would form local hubs around the country.
They will be separate from existing organisations, such as the army reserves, but will be similar in structure.
The review warns that the UK is underequipped to face the dangers of the modern world.
Another recommendation is that the government invest in defensive shields to protect the UK against missile attack, and include wide-ranging proposals to address recruitment and retention crises faced by the navy, army and RAF.
