So far, lots on updating & repairing military homes -which is crucially important & overdue- but nothing much on culture, integration or addressing retention issues beyond pay increases. My research shows this won't be sufficient to meet needs of personnel so keen to see what's in the SDR on this

Perhaps, but you still have to crew a navy for the next 20 to 30 years, a period in which a lot can happen. And then the human burden doesn't necessarily disappear after you build a fleet of autonomous ships.

"Admiral Sir Ben Key, the head of the navy, is understood not to have asked for more sailors in his submission to the review, believing that in 20 to 30 years destroyers and frigates will be autonomous." www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/a...
Military numbers unlikely to increase after defence review
Budgetary and recruitment constraints will affect the size of the armed forces but a ‘homeland defence force’ could result in greater co-operation with emergency services
