Cold War British Order of Battle Graphics

Updated: Apr 8

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.


Infantry Battalions

Infantry mounted in Warrior infantry fighting vehicles. This example is from the Staff Officers Handbook and thus a theoretical example, not specific to a real unit. (Click to enlarge)


Army Mechanised Infantry Battalion

Infantry mounted in armored personnel carriers. This example is from the Staff Officers Handbook and thus a theoretical example, not specific to a real unit. (Click to enlarge)
