Overall UK Notes
Note 1: The brigade headquarters in the UK (except 1st, 24th, 49th, 19th, 5th Para) were regional headquarters units, not combat headquarters, although some would convert in wartime.
Note 2: Infantry Battalions organized for the “light role” had 4 rifle companies and a support company with 8 81mm mortars, 6 Milans (12 if they were to be committed to BAOR). There were 21 battalions so organized.
Note 3: Infantry Battalions organized for “home defence” has 3-5 rifle companies, a recon platoon, an assault pioneer platoon, and a mortar platoon with 9 81mm mortars. In many units, one platoon in each rifle company would be manned by reservists. This organization was used only by TA infantry battalions without a planned NATO role. There were a total of 14 battalions organized as such. I have labeled all TA infantry battalions as Home Defence unless I have information to the contrary. There was also a battalion organized for artillery security, with 3 rifle companies and no support units (8^th Bn, Queen’s fusiliers).
Note 4: Units with a (U) after their name did a 3-6 month tour in Northern Ireland at some point during 1989.
Note 5: HSF units are Home Service Force, raised to provide local security and free Territorials for other tasks.
Note 6: Given the number of Challenger 1s actually available, it is unlikely that the regiments equipped with them were at full strength.
Note 6: In several exercises in the 1980s the UK-based BAOR reinforcements were reportedly in place in less than 72 hours.
Note 7: Brigades (at least those in BAOR or the UKMF) were re-equipped from FV432 Command variant to ASV436 command vehicles beginning with the 1^st AD in 1986. Each brigade HQ had 9 ASV436 and 2 FV439 Comms vehicle in the main HQ and 5 ASV436 and 2 FV439 in the Step Up HQ (or alternate). There were occasional Sultans for transporting staff officers and for RAF liason units. Divisional HQ units were similarly arranged, but had approximately double the number of vehicles, plus the occasional Ferret. (Thanks to Simon Tyler for this)
Note 8: Engineer Units
