Structure of the British Army

I didn't know that. The most interesting aspect I learned from doing the graphic is that the 7th and 51st Brigade are clearly intended to be deployable: the two artillery regiments (3 RHA, 4 RA), the two Close Support Engineer Regiments (21, 26) and all the units of 102 Logistic Brigade (minus the one paired with units in 101 Logistic) are meant to complete 7th and 51st brigade upon deployment. And one other thing: in my view 4th and 42nd Brigade should be merged to create one brigade of equal size to 7th and 51st. But however you look at it - this is the most complicated structured army I ever encountered. If doubt this will work... for deployments with enough time to organize the units it will work... but for short term emergencies... doubt it! noclador (talk) 12:03, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
