THE INFANTRY

TERRITORIAL ARMY INFANTRY BATTALION


The new TA Infantry structure has been organised to support and complement the regular regimental structure, thereby restoring a true sense of identity at TA battalion level. There are 14 TA infantry battalions. These provide reinforcement of the regular infantry for up to 14 unit HQs or, where necessary individual or smaller unit reinforcements.

In addition the new TA Infantry Structure can provide the manpower to include up to seven Defence Troops for Armoured and Formation Reconnaissance Regiments committed to operations. Restructuring for TA infantry battalions has been conducted on the basis of a minimum of approximately 400 soldiers per battalion.
