==Joint Aviation Command==
Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) is a two-star joint command which consists of Army, Navy, and Air Force helicopter elements. The commander of JHC reports to the Chief of the General Staff and is therefore shown under Army Headquarters instead of as a joint command below. Only army elements are shown, though the command consists of elements from all three branches of the armed forces. JHC currently consists of 15,000 personnel and around 239 aircraft.

Latest revision as of 04:49, 3 February 2025

Below is the structure of the British Army in 2022. The below structure is organised based on the Army 2020 programme announced in 2010, with its further supplements in 2015 (Army 2020 Refine) and 2017. Under this "refine", the British Army was reduced to two three-star commands; Commander Field Army and Commander Home Command, and reorganised along quick reaction and sustained warfare lines. The former being the deployable command, and the later being the home defence and support command.

Army Headquarters

Andover - Marlborough Lines

Entrance to Marlborough Lines in Andover the site of Army Headquarters.

Until 31 October 2011, British Army forces were commanded by a four star named Commander-in-Chief, Land Forces. Under a major army command reorganisation effective 1 November 2011, the Chief of the General Staff took direct command of the Army through a new structure known as Army Headquarters.[1][2] Army Headquarters, which started to take responsibility for more than 2,000 military and civilian personnel, was established at Marlborough Lines near Andover.[3]

Joint Aviation Command

Joint Aviation Command (JHC) is a two-star joint command which consists of Army, Navy, and Air Force helicopter elements. The commander of JHC reports to the Chief of the General Staff and is therefore shown under Army Headquarters instead of as a joint command below. Only army elements are shown, though the command consists of elements from all three branches of the armed forces. JHC currently consists of 15,000 personnel and around 239 aircraft.

Before this date, the division (a major-general's command) was tasked with everything from recruiting to initial training to second-level training.

However, following the Army 2020 Refine, the division was disestablished with the recruiting and initial training given to the new 'Army Recruiting and Initial Training Command', while the second-level and further training given to the Land Warfare Centre. The latter of which is now under direct control of Commander Field Army.[99]

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.[143] 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'.[144]

All bands of the Regular Army fall under the OPCON of the Royal Corps of Army Music, while the Army Reserve bands fall under the guise of their local unit.[134]

Explanatory Notes

  1. The battalion will be possibly merged with 13th Air Assault Regiment, RLC and become the brigade's 'CSS focused' unit. The battalion will be bolstered by three RLC Aviation Support Squadrons plus a Medical Company (Reserves) for operations. The battalion's aviation companies also provide airports.
  2. The Collective Training Group is a 1-star command (Brigade-sized) which provides collective training for Commander Field Army.
  3. The Field Training Unit is a 1-star command (brigade equivalent) which provides training for the Field Army's light and mechanised battlegroups
  4. No. 667 Squadron was disbanded in late 2020 and the role transferred to 2nd and 7th Training Regiments AAC. On 1 August 2021, the squadron was reformed by expanding and consequently redesignating No. 7 Flight AAC in Brunei.
  5. According to an Instagram post and later question, due to issues with the Ajax, the CVR(T) is to be replaced in the interim by the Warrior.

  7. According to an Instagram post and later question, due to issues with the Ajax, the CVR(T) is to be replaced in the interim by the Warrior.
  8. No. 9 and No. 12 Companies were formed when the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards was reduced to the security force assistance role. The excess personnel were then sent to form the two new public duties companies. When the Irish Guards rotate out of the role in three years time, the companies will re-join the battalion and excess personnel from another regiment will become public duties-dedicated.
