The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation(NATO) was formed in 1949 and the field formations of BAOR, expanded to four divisions, were placed under the command of Northern Army Group in the central sector of Allied Command Europe.
In BAOR for the first time an entire Signal Regiment was formed for tactical EW, 14 Signal Regiment, in 1977.

BAOR was disbanded on 28th October 1994 with the Prince of Wales paying final tribute to the Army, as a parade of soldiers from the Queen's Dragoon Guards and the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment lifted their caps and roared three cheers for the Prince as he took the last salute from the troops.

 Inland fishery enhancements
A baor normally is still part of the floodplain of the river, to which it is connected by inlets and outlets.
Parts of the baor are in the process of being excavated for fish ponds and new Fish Farmer Groups (FFGs), mainly composed of women, have been established for these parts of the baor and are all together be included in the LMGs.
But since fish culture has raised the value of the baor as a resource, the cultivators of the dried up areas have in some cases claimed the areas as theirs, even in the period when they are under water.

Combat is conducted at the company, battalion, and regiment level, with a map scale of 4 km per hex.
The map covers the BAOR sector and includes the major West German cities of Hannover and Kassel.

Ross has also advised that discussions have taken place at BAOR regarding the necessity for early action to provide alternative accommodation to that now being made available from other allotments to accommodate the 27th Brigade and which alternative accommodation will be required in the fall of 1952.
It has been agreed that the acquisition of land and the construction of barracks and other accommodation will be dealt with in the first instance as one of the camp areas required by the BAOR under the existing policy and procedures, and will not be referred to as specifically for Canadian purposes.
A tentative statement furnished by the United Kingdom on the BAOR deutschemark budget for 195253 to the T.C.C. showed a cost in respect of the Canadian Brigade in the neighbourhood of 16 deutschemarks (27 shillings) per day for maintenance and 73 million deutschemarks for capital works services.

Like in BAOR, all the Pact forces enter as reinforcements, and the reinforcement entry procedure is a big whoop-to-do, with allocation of units to march order columns and strict adherence to one and only one entry path through the hexfield for each column (look it up, that's what it says--seems crazy to me).
The two later games Donau Front and North German Plain were pretty good games too, but I think SPI was already runnin' scared of complexity at that point, because these later games were way dumbed down compared to the earlier incarnations.
Chuck Kamps was not afraid of a complex design (for example, I think he was the designer of BAOR too, as well as Donau.), so I don't think he was responsible for the dumbing down.

Prior to the defence cutbacks of 1981, BAOR was 4 armoured divisions and had only one Corps-level recce regiment (2RTR).
The 'two-up', in the front-line, were known as 'FEBA divisions' (Forward Edge of the Battle Area), the third as the 'Depth Division' (the infantry division from UK deployed as Corps rear area security).
The difference between ARR (T) (BAOR) and ARR (T) (UK) was mainly in the Support Troop of each squadron, four Spartan instead of five, in MSH terms, no difference at all.

 APPENDIX I: BRITISH BORDER OPERATIONS IN GERMANY
By 1970 the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) had further reduced its operations and was conducting mere token patrols, which consisted of each BAOR division covering a sector of the border once a month.
In addition, neither the BAOR patrols nor the frontier Service personnel conducted intelligence gathering activities in the border area, leaving that function to their national intelligence agencies.
Even though the frequency of the BAOR patrols had been increased from that of the early 1970s, it was obvious that the primary mission of the BAOR patrols remained symbol, c, with the primary advantage for the British Army being in training.

Five regiments reduced to squadron strength and reformed as the single Yeomanry regiment of the TAVR II (the "Volunteers") intended to reinforce the BAOR as an armoured reconnaissance regiment.
One regiment supported the BAOR as the second reconnaissance regiment, while the three other regiments operated as a Home Defence Infantry Battalion.
For example, the territorial battalions of the Welsh Brigade formed the Welsh Volunteers, wearing the same cap badge that had been imposed on the Regulars in 1959.

National Service enabled the BAOR field squadrons to have two officers per troop, however by 1962 the last of the National Service soldiers had left and as a consequence the field squadrons were reorganised to accommodate the change.
The armoured engineers had their origins in the assault engineers of the Second World War (1939-45 - see Part 16), whose units, at the end of the war, were either disbanded or returned to Britain.
