Oh yes, and wasn't one of the Bn's to come from the RGR?

I think the original list was 1 Scots/4 PWRR/2 RGR & a Rifles Bn?

Someone will put me right...
The fourth battalion is from the Duke of Lancaster’s rather than RGR.

Two RGR Battalions serve in rotation with 16 Air Assault Brigade (currently 1 RGR - will be 2 RGR in 2022), with the other battalion in Brunei.

3 RGR will be a Specialised Infantry Bn, serving with 11 SFAB in Aldershot, but that is not a Ranger Bn.
