3rd Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigade

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, it was announced that 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. On 1 September 2025, the 1st Deep Recce Strike Brigade re-subordinated as the 3rd Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigade. The brigade is designed to integrate reconnaissance assets with deep fires and non-lethal effects, utilising Ajax and MLRS systems. == Current organization ==
