Challenger 2 Battlegroup
The Iron Fist of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh Battlegroup and other Armoured Brigade Combat Teams
Three battlegroups can be formed from units of the 12th Armoured Brigade Combat Team. Two armoured infantry units with their headquarters company, two infantry companies (equipped with the Warrior ISV infantry fighting vehicle, and from 2025 with the Boxer MIV mechanised infantry vehicle), a fire support company (with anti-tank weapons and mortars) and a tank squadron (equipped with Challenger 2 MBT main battle tanks, from 2027 with the Challenger 3) can be structured as required. An even heavier battlegroup is also conceivable, consisting of two tank squadrons and an armoured infantry company. The exact composition always depends on the mission, and it can vary depending on the availability of resources. In addition, other combat support forces such as elements of the Royal Engineers or Royal Artillery can be requested and integrated.
The current ‘Iron Fist’ of each armoured battlegroup is the Challenger 2 MBT. Around this heavy weapon system the ‘Challenger 2 Battlegroup’ is formed and shown in this publication exemplary by the 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh Battlegroup. The entire motor pool of this formation is illustrated based on outstanding in-action exercise photographs.
