Future Soldier Guide
Published by the UK MOD - 100+ page illustrated brochure showing future intentions to radically reorganise the British Army
https://www.army.mod.uk/media/14919/...uide_25nov.pdf As part of the Integrated Review in March 2021, the British Army outlined a plan for its most radical transformation in 20 years, called Future Soldier. Future Soldier is about delivering a modern British Army that is fit for the challenges of the future. To become more lethal, agile and expeditionary; an army able to fight and win wars and to compete successfully in the grey-zone between peace and war. An army equipped with the right culture and leadership to sustain our reputation and moral foundation, and to make the Army a great place to be, for everyone. An army ready for the future, not the past. Since the initial announcement, the British Army has been working on delivering this transformation; thinking differently about emerging threats, how we deal with them, and the structures and equipment that we need. This guide sets out how the Army is changing. It contains detail on the future Army structures and roles that each unit (Regular and Reserve) will perform. It also describes where the Army will be based and when changes will take effect. Tim

Interesting that traditional Brigades are now Light Brigade Combat Teams and will be significantly larger e.g. 4 Brigade will have the addition of Coldstream and Grenadier Guards and a battalion of Gurkhas and Rifles (so 6 regular infantry battalions and 1 light cavalry instead of the current 3 infantry battalions and 1 light cavalry)
A new Army Reserve Brigade based in York means the reintroduction of 19 Brigade into the orbat. Presumably we will see some new formation signs.....

Some Brigades are to become Groups, not to be commanded by a Brigadier perhaps?
Note the change of title of The London Regiment to 1st Battalion London Guards by 2024. Tim
