  At 9am this morning thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen from across the country will be ordered to appear before their commanding officers and handed their redundancy letters.
  
  The biggest redundancy of service personnel for two decades will see a cull of mid-ranking officers who have gained the most operational experience in a generation with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  
  Officers starting their advanced course at the Joint Services Command and Staff College in Shrivenham said they were waiting the news with "great trepidation" last night.
  
  "We have all been on near constant operations for almost a decade but some of us know it's going to be good bye tomorrow without much gratitude or respect for all we and our families have gone through," said one officer. "You can imagine the state of morale."
