The British Army in Germany: An Organizational History 1947-2004
This work is a study of the British Army's permanent presence on the continent of Europe. Each section begins with an overview and continues with one or more detailed orders of battle for the period.
The BAOR of 1945 - like its largely forgotten 1919 namesake-began as an army of occupation in a defeated Germany. However, with the Cold War and NATO it evolved into something quite different: a major military force permanently stationed on the continent. This work is a study of that unique force, a permanent British Army presence on the continent of Europe. Each section begins with an overview, especially of divisions and brigades, and then continues with one or more detailed orders of battle for the period. These orbats are divided to coincide with major changes in the structure of the forces in Germany. The level of detail of support units tends to increase as we reach more recent times, although all orbats contain details on infantry, armour, artillery, engineers and signals. In the case of artillery, the batteries assigned to a regiment as well as the weapons types are indicated; engineer units are carried down to squadron level. For all units, location is given (or shown as "location unknown"). A replacement unit is always at the same location as its predecessor unless a new location is given for the replacement unit. In the case of artillery, unless indicated otherwise a replacement regiment has the same armament as the unit it replaces and thus weapons types are not repeated.
