British Infantry Organization

Hmm, I'll see if i can dig anything up to help, Anything in particular you want or need in terms of information?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_21 Best i could find so far, not alot in term of figures but it gives some ideas as to what they contain.

Quote:

I am almost finished reading the book "3 Commando Brigade", which is about a Commando Battle Group in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The Commando was reorganized from 2 Close Combat Companies and 2 Stand-Off Companies to 4 combined arms companies.
Commando 21 Organization:
2 x Close Combat Company
- 3 x Close Combat Troop (Rifle Troop)
2 x Stand-Off Company
- 1 x Close Combat Troop (Rifle Troop)
- 1 x Anti-Tank Troop (Javelin ATGM)
- 1 x Heavy Machine Gun Troop (.50-calibre HMG/40mm GMG)

Afghan Deployment Organization:
4 x Combined Arms Company
- 2 x Close Combat Troop (Rifle Troop)
- 1 x Fire Support Troop (Javelin ATGM, .50-cal HMG & 40mm GMG, sometimes with attached 81mm mortars from the unit mortar troop)

If anyone know how a British Army Company or Regiment organization look like, please give me a call.
I know from the Regulations of field forces South Africa that during the Zulu war a ideal Infantry Battalion have:
30 officers and 866 other ranks and company has 3 officers and 107 other ranks, but there is no information about how many NCO is within the other ranks.

I looked up in some books and and in the internet but I couldn't find accurate informations about the organization of a victorian company of the line (I also couldn't find accurate informations about the napoleonic wars aera).
I found this in the internet about the napoleanic wars aera. :

Quote:

Each of the eight center companies was divided into 2 half-companies.
Theoretically the company consisted of:
- 3 officers (incl. 1 captain)
- 5 NCOs (2 sergeants and 3 corporals)
- 1 drummer (and sometimes 1 fifer)
- 85-100 privates (in Foot Guard more).

The British field battalion had ten companies: one light, one grenadier and eight centre. The Light and Grenadier Company drummers formed behind their own company, but their battalion company comrades were grouped behind the 2nd and 7th Companies. The battalion Colors were placed between the 4th and 5th Company.

About the british during the american revolutionary war I found this chart on the homepage of the US Army:

Then I could find this book on the internet about the british army during the victorian age:
http://books.google.ch/books?id=HvE_Pa_ ... ar&f=false.

I also searched in some osprey books but couldn't find any worthful information, but I guess, that your zulu war company could theoretically be organized like this:
- 1 x captain, 1 x lieutenant, 1 x 2nd lieutenant, 1 x colour sergeant, 4 x sergeants, 5 x corporals, 2 x drummers and 95 x soldiers.

In reality the infantery units were allways unterstrengthed. During that time the infantry battalions were made from 8 companies of line and some other stuff like staff, band etc..

Hmm.. any chance of seeing some Royal Artillery and L118's?

Or has this project faded away now?

I don't know if somebody will do it in the future, but I won't draw the L118 because I am not able to do it. I would do a Field Battery with AS90 if I had a organization chart which is accurate enough. As long as not enough information is available I cannot do any further drawings.

Hmm, Isn't any of the provided links of any good then?
