Speaking of making do...

"The planned deployment of another 3,500 British troops to Afghanistan
is part of a big new push by Nato forces to pacify the south of the
country."

"The British will be in Helmand, the Canadian are already in Kandahar,
the US will take over in Zabul and it is planned that the Dutch will go to
Oruzgan.

However, there has been some resistance in the Netherlands to this
deployment and although the Dutch cabinet has approved it, the Dutch
parliament will have to vote on it in early February. "

So where are the 3.5k troops coming from?

Which tour? The balkan tour, the african tour, the iraqi tour or some
troops who got home yesterday?
