  Structure of the British Army. Who is Structure of the British Army? What is Structure of the British Army? Where is ...
The structure of the British Army is complex, due to the different origins of its various constituent parts.
The numbering of the various brigades is not sequential, reflecting the rise and fall of various brigades over the years.
The reserve brigades have often been divisions in times past, such as 51 (Scottish) Brigade being the direct descendant of the famous 51st (Highland) Division of WWII.

 British Forces Germany - Art History Online Reference and Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The British Forces Germany (BFG) is the successor of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) and Royal Air Force Germany (RAFG), which were disbanded due to the end of the Cold War as well as cuts in the armed forces due to HM Government's Options for Change.
The main areas of British presence are North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
The British presence in Germany is vitally important to British interests, as seen in the rapid deployment of British troops to Kosovo during the war there in 1999, as well as the rapid build-up in the Middle East during the preparations for war with Iraq in 2003.

 Chapter IX: Logistics
Logistics as it is known today is the science of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of forces.
Because logistic support requirements for Army-type aircraft used by U.S. and allied forces in Southeast Asia were substantially enlarged with the transfer to Vietnamese forces of a large number of helicopters under the Vietnamization program, a single pipeline was established to support these forces.
Thus the Streamline program, a logistics operation described in last year's report as it was begun in the Army's Pacific and European commands, was extended in the 1971 fiscal year to the Continental Army Command, Army commands in Alaska and Panama, and the Reserve Components.

 British Triumph On East Falkland
On 23 April the British government warned the Argentines that any "threat to interfere with the mission of British forces in the South Atlantic would be dealt with appropriately."36 Tightening the blockade even further, the British changed the MEZ to a Total Exclusion Zone (TEZ) on 30 April.
The British government intentionally avoided putting the potentially lucrative target close to the Falklands.43 While at South Georgia, Royal Marine Major General Jeremy Moore, the new overall commander of the two brigades, transferred with his staff and Brigadier Wilson to the destroyer ANTRIM for immediate passage to San Carlos.
I agree with Hastings' statement that, "As an achievement of seamanship, logistics, (and) ship handling, the British campaign in the South Atlantic was a triumph for the Royal Navy."25 Nevertheless, the battle-carrier group and submarines failed to create the conditions necessary for the execution of an amphibious landing.

 Corned Beef Raid on Embassy:  British Patriotism and the Falkland Conflict
It was not until the specter of British naval cutbacks in 1981 forced the government to look at the security of the islands that people began to realize that something was brewing.<12> However, by that time it was too late.
Great Britain finally joined the European Community in 1971, amid protests from many Britons.<25> Thusly, many British people were insecure about their place; they had dropped from covering a quarter of the globe to a second rate power who had to join the other countries of Europe to have a say in what happened.
The British take pride in the fact that they have not been successfully invaded since 1066; they were the only country to resist the efforts of Hitler during the Second World War, just as they had resisted an invasion by Napoleon in the early nineteenth century.
