SECTION IV

GREAT BRITAIN

11. BRITISH ORGANIZATION.-a. The combat. units of the British Army are the famous old regiments. 'In peacetime, the infantry and cavalry regiments usually consist of two active battalions and one permanent depot. ' As a rule, one battalion is on foreign service and the other is part of the garrison of Great Britain. After about 12 years the battalions exchange duties. In practice, the two active battalions of a regiment are never together. Each battalion is commanded by a lieutenant-colonel. The rank of ,colonel is used for an honorary colonel of a regiment, or as a member of the General Staff. Except in exceptional circumstances, a functions. colonel has no command b. The regiment, as we know it, does not exist in the British Army. The next higher organization above the battalion is the brigade. This is comprised of three battalions, each from a different regiment, I. e.,, 1st Battalion, Black Watch, 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, ist Battalion. Seaforth Highlanders. The brigade is and - , i

commanded by a brigadier. The brigadier is not a general officer. C. In wartime, the British Army is expanded by creating more battalions thus in each the of existing regiments, continuing traditions the Single battalions when thus formed of old units. are detailed with others to form new brigades. d. All types Army part of the of artillery in the British are a Royal Regiment This branch is the only one that of Artillery. has a regiment that compares with the United States regiment. It is from two to four batteries depending comprised of upon the location and the type of artillery., There are no battalions in the Royal Regiment of Artillery. ' Each battery and regiment is numbered. These batteries can be assigned to any brigade of Infantry, depending upon the need of these brigades. batteries are assigned to the More numbered Royal Regiment of Artillery as the need arises. 11 12.
