Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the UK has the ability to deploy what it defines as an Armoured Brigade.

The UK is capable of deploying what it defines as an Armoured Brigade.

As part of Future Soldier, in order to re-model deployable forces to create more self-sufficient and tactical formations, Armoured Infantry Brigades transitioned and re-designated as Armoured Brigade Combat Teams. This capability remains at the heart of the UK's proposition as part of the NATO New Force Model and will be retained throughout the decade as the Army transitions to new capabilities.
