Once consisting of I (BR) Corps and three divisions, the BFG is a considerably reduced entity since the Options for Change defence review in the early 1990s, although it is still the major concentration of UK armed forces permanently stationed outside the UK.[3] Since the 1990s, the British presence has centred around the 1st Armoured Division, its three brigades, and supporting elements.[1] The divisional HQ is located at Herford, near Bielefeld, with garrisons at Gütersloh, Hohne, and Paderborn.[4] A further garrison at Osnabrück was closed in 2009. Additionally, the Rhine Garrison area contains Rheindahlen Military Complex and HQ Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.[1][5] Administrative support for British service personnel in Germany and across Continental Europe is delegated to United Kingdom Support Command. The four Army garrisons in Germany are under the direct administrative control of UKSC.[1] The General Officer Commanding UKSC also functions as head of the British Forces Liaison Organisation (Germany), which is responsible for liaising and maintaining relations with German civil authorities.[6] Approximately 56,000 people are associated[weasel words] with British Forces Germany, with only about 23,000 in the army, itself, and about 2,200 civilians posted in Germany. The 1st Armoured Division is currently equipped with Challenger 2 MBTs, Warrior IFVs, AS-90 Braveheart howitzers, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, armoured personnel carriers, Gazelle and Lynx helicopters.[1] During the height of "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland, the IRA targeted personnel in Germany between 1988 and 1990. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 9 people, including three civilians, and many wounded. According to the BBC, the BFG presence contributes 1.5 billion Euros annually to the German economy. The British Army Germany rugby union team regularly plays games against emerging nations like Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg.[7] Contents 1 Major Units as of 2009 1.1 7th Armoured Brigade (The Desert Rats) 1.2 20th Armoured Brigade (The Iron Fist) 1.3 1st (UK) Armoured Division - Divisional Units 1.4 102nd Logistics Brigade 2 References 3 External links // Major Units as of 2009 7th Armoured Brigade (The Desert Rats) 7 Armoured Brigade Headquarters The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys) (Armoured) 3rd Battalion, The Mercian Regiment (Armoured Infantry) The Highlanders, 4th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (Armoured Infantry) 2nd Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment (light role) The 9th/12th Lancers (Formation Reconnaissance) 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery (Self Propelled Artillery) 32nd Engineer Regiment, Royal Engineers 207th Signal Squadron, Royal Corps of Signals 2nd Battalion, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers 2nd Medical Regiment, Royal Army Medical Corps 2 Logistic Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 111th Company, Royal Military Police 20th Armoured Brigade (The Iron Fist) 20th Armoured Brigade Headquarters The Queen's Royal Hussars (The Queen's Own and Royal Irish) (Armoured) 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshires) (Armoured Infantry) 5th Battalion, The Rifles (Armoured Infantry) 1st Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales Own) (Light Role) 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards (Formation Reconnaissance) 26th Regiment, Royal Artillery (Self Propelled Artillery) 35th Engineer Regiment, Royal Engineers 200th Signal Squadron, Royal Corps of Signals 3rd Battalion, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers 1st Medical Regiment (based in Münster) 110th Company, Royal Military Police 1st (UK) Armoured Division - Divisional Units 1st Regiment, Army Air Corps (Lynx) 12th Regiment, Royal Artillery (Air Defence) 1st Logistic Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 1st Regiment, Royal Military Police 1st (United Kingdom) Armoured Division Signal Regiment 102nd Logistics Brigade 262 Signal Squadron, Royal Corps of Signals 6th Supply Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 7th Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 8th Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps 5th General Support Medical Regiment, Royal Army Medical Corps, located in Preston, UK. 5th Regiment, Royal Military Police 102nd Military Working Dog Support Unit, Royal Army Veterinary Corps References ^ a b c d e British Forces Germany, bfgnet.de ^ BBC News (2004), From occupiers and protectors to guests, news.bbc.co.uk.
