Military unit
The 1st Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigade Combat Team is a formation of the British Army , currently headquartered in Delhi Barracks, Tidworth Camp , Wiltshire , as part of the 3rd (United Kingdom) Division .
History
As part of the Future Soldier Programme , which in turn arose from resulting from the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy ("Global Britain in a Competitive Age") published in March 2021,[ 1] 1st Armoured Infantry Brigade and 1st Artillery Brigade would merge to form a deep fighting formation known as 1st Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigade Combat Team .[ 1] [ 2]
The brigade is designed to integrate reconnaissance assets with deep fires and non-lethal effects, utilising Ajax and MLRS systems.[ 1] [ 1]
1st Deep Recce Strike BCT will focus on the Army’s deep fight, combining deep fires with reconnaissance and the ability to integrate non-lethal effects. Deep Recce Strike BCT combines the Ajax’s formidable sensors with enhanced fires systems to provide long-range persistent surveillance for the coordination of deep fires.
