In 2006, alongside the abolishment of conscription, the Armed Forces were reorganized. Many former units and installations were merged, split or disbanded. This was done as an attempt to modernize the Littish military, which had been "stuck in the 80s" and to help boost morale through a volunteer force instead of conscripts. The reorganization is viewed as a success and the funding from further military modernization initiatives have helped the Armed Forces stay up to date.
