Structure of the British Army
![]() | This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2017) |
The British Army as a result of the Army 2020 and Army 2020 Refine reforms has been organised into two main commands, Field Army and Home Command, each commanded by a lieutenant general.
The Director of Overseas Bases, responsible to the Commander, Strategic Command, controls a number of other British Army units of battalion size and smaller, in the overseas bases (Gibraltar, Cyprus, and BFSAI/Falklands;[1] British deployments in the British Indian Ocean Territory and Singapore do not have formed British Army units present), but these units are responsible to Commander Strategic Command, not to the Chief of the General Staff.
For those units that are under administrative, but not operational control of the Army, see Structure of the British Armed Forces, and Structure of the Royal Air Force.
The British Army will undergo further restructuring under the Defence in a Competitive Age announced in 2021.
Field Army[]
The units under Field Army are:[2][3]
- Reaction forces comprising 16 Air Assault Brigade and 3rd (UK) Division of two armoured infantry brigades (the 12th and 20th Armoured Infantry Brigades) and a Strike Brigade and along with combat support units.[4][5][6] 3rd UK Division is operationally affiliated with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.[7]
- Adaptive forces comprising a 1st (UK) Division brigades.[8][9][10]
- 6th (UK) Division comprising surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance, communications, electronic warfare, psychological operations.
- Joint Helicopter Command which commands most of the UK's battlefield lift and attack helicopters for the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.
Field Army gained initial operating capability on 30 November 2015 and was formed as a result of the 2015 Army Command Review. The Commander Field Army commands all the formations of the British Army's forces for operational tasks, its collective training and tactical doctrine organisations and includes the vast majority of the Army’s fighting equipment.[11]

Army Recruiting and Initial Training Command was established on 1 April 2018,[68] and oversees the Army Recruiting Group, which includes the National Recruitment Centre (NRC) and local Army Careers Centres, and is staffed by a mixture of Capita staff and Army personnel.[170]
Army Training Units (ATU) are commanded and staffed by UK Army Reservists. Along with Regular Army Training Regiments (ATR), they provide Basic Training to Army Reserve recruits, except those joining 4 PARA. Reserves recruits are selected at an Army Recruit Selection Centre. They then undertake a short basic training course known as ‘alpha', over four weekends or a residential week. The alpha course is followed by a 15.5-day residential 'bravo' course to achieve trained soldier status. These generic courses teach essential elements of the Regular Common Military Syllabus 2014 (CMS 14). Recruits will then attend Initial Trade Training courses as stipulated by their cap badge / Corps. The Honourable Artillery Company currently runs its own alpha course twice a year. The current ATUs include:[citation needed]

Royal Corps of Army Music[]
In 2019 the Corps of Army Music was restructured with a number of bands being co-located and re-named.[183] In a process of 'Military Music Optimization', the regular Army band laydown was adjusted to enable several smaller bands to train and perform as larger bands for more significant Army events: 'Co-locating 11 of the smaller bands in three major garrisons and Sandhurst has increased the flexibility of CAMUS to perform at a huge breadth of events without compromising any of the traditional bands that have been performing for many years'.[184]
During a visit to Kneller Hall in December 2020, the Earl and Countess of Wessex announced the Corps of Army Music would be renamed the Royal Corps of Army Music from January 2021.[185][186] This change was formally marked with a new title presentation in January 2021 with the Countess of Wessex in attendance.[187]
