Ceremonial Branch Home Command are controlling and coordinating the process for the Army.
The Household Division have priority for manufacture and issue.

Eight years! Goodness. By which time Charles will be 83… .

All units will receive their new badges across the the board, then along will come William V!

I was informed that we have until 2026 to complete the transition to CIIIR badges, where did the 8 years information come form ?

An official document:
“Transitioning the Army’s Dress to the Kings Devices.
All Army dress and accoutrements will change to reflect the new King’s devices – Tudor crown and Cypher. The Army have allowed eight years for the transition to occur and will centrally control the transition.”


From another source:

There are more than 1,500 separate items to be produced including cap and collar badges, rank badges and buttons.

Interesting but I don’t think it will take anything like that amount of time. I’m pretty confident that the army doesn’t hold sufficient stocks of badges to allow for eight years of usage …..
