Teams which operate within the
British Army
Rachel Rout
Force
The Army itself is a force, it is split up into
two major teams; the regulars and the
reservists. The army is broken down even
more into smaller ‘teams’ these are; Corps,
Division, Brigade and Regiments. In all of
these groups are smaller teams all with
different roles. The main aim of the British
Army is to ‘secure Britain in an uncertain
world’ weather it is in our own country or
overseas. The army can join forces in major Infantry Driver Regular or Reserve
missions with other organisations such as
the ministry of defence, the Royal Navy and
The Royal Air Force.
Brigade
A brigade is a major tactical formation which
is usually made up of three to six regiments.
Two or more brigades may constitute a
division. They consist of infantry or
armoured teams if they are formed into
divisions. Some brigades have from 3,000 to
5,500 troops and some can be classed as
separate and operate differently from the
standardised division structure. Brigades
also have one commander who usually hold
British Army Regiments (cap badges)
the rank of brigadier general, brigadier or
colonel. Their leader usually has their own
self-contained headquarters.
