Among Pentagon planners, the shift is called the "Jessica Lynch effect", in honour of the US army clerk whose supply unit was ambushed during the Iraq invasion, leading to her capture and rescue.

Times have changed and senior commanders have now ordered a huge increase in rifle and pistol training - even for cooks, mechanics and clerks such as Pte Lynch.
