Cold War British Order of Battle Graphics

Graphics > British Orders of Battle > Cold War British (1946-1991)

This is a gallery of organizational graphics for the United Kingdom during the Cold War. These order of battle graphics cover larger units, typically battalion-level and above. For graphics not depicting a numbered or named unit (a real unit), the organization is pulled from either a War Establishment or the Staff Officers Handbook for a given year and are thus theoretical examples.

Army Mechanised Infantry Battalion
