CURRENT PROJECT: Graphics for all major groups
Below is the Outline of the British Army before Army 2020 . The units below will show their locations in December 2010, just before the SDSR 2010 had been published. "Produced in 2011, following the outcomes of the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (and working within substantial financial constraints), Army 2020 was the British Army’s plan to make itself both more useful and more ready." (https://wavellroom.com/2022/02/02/more-range-or-more-rangers-the-fight-for-the-future-of-the-british-army/ )
The list shown below is still changing as a result of the above said refines, but shows the current overall structure of the army.
Note: units in bold are higher commands, and the units in italics are those units which are part of the Territorial Army and have the prefix or suffix '(V)'.
Command of the 'Field Army' was brought together at Wilton in April 1995 (a consequence of Options for Change ), when HQ United Kingdom Land Force was renamed Headquarters Land Command. Between then and 2008, the Chief of the General Staff governed the Army through three subordinate headquarters: Land Command (responsible for operational command of about 75% of the Army's manpower), Adjutant General's Branch (responsible for personnel, individual training, doctrine and administration), and Equipment Support (Land). Following Future Army Structure (2004) , HQ Land Command became HQ Land Forces in 2008, and in 2009 moved to Andover .[ 3]
In 2009, HQ Land Forces and posts from the Chief of the General Staff and down (including subsequent commands) was reorganised. However, these will not be shown, only the structure before will be shown.[ 3]

HQ 6th Division was raised in May 2007, and announced in July, stood up 5th August 2008. To be extant until 2011 to control HQ Regional Command South (HQ RC (S)) at Kandahar in Afghanistan, rotating with Canada and the Netherlands, and HQ Multi National Division-South East (HQ MND-SE) at Basra in Iraq. Very few other details are currently available, except that it will be composed of 55 staff (drawn from formation staffs) and six civilians. Also in the May it was announced that a further light brigade would be raised for specific duties in Afghanistan and disbanded upon its completion. This meaning ten brigades available, five each for Iraq and Afghanistan operations.
6th Division
Division Headquarters, at Imphal Barracks, York In 2008, it was announced that 11th Light Brigade would be reformed to assume command of the planned Operation Herrick deployment to Afghanistan in late 2009. The Brigade was headquartered in Aldershot and was formed using units from existing formations. Commanded by Brigadier James Cowan ,[ 10] it was disbanded in 2010 on its return from Afghanistan, with its component units returning to their previous formations.[ 11]
Theatre Troops was formed on 31 August 2001 as part of the Landmark study and tasked with overseeing the 'essential capabilities'. These include Intelligence (1 MI Bde), Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) (1 Art Bde), Deep Strike (1 Art Bde), Specialist Engineers (8 Eng Bde), Communications (1, 2, and 11 Sig Bdes), Support (2 Med Bde), Air Defence (JGBAD), and Logistic re-supply (101, 102, and 104 Log Bdes).[ 5] [ 12] Though 101st and 102nd Logistic Brigades are part of Theatre Troops, they are in essence part of the 3rd and 1st Divisions respectively for operations and are therefore listed there.
Note: because of internal changes to the Royal Corps of Signals in 2010 itself (two months before Army 2020), the structures of the signal brigades will be that of late 2009/early 2010 .
