|
The organisation of a battlegroup is flexible, and can be restructured quickly to cope with any changes in the situation. Typically, an offensive battlegroup may be structured around an armoured regiment, with two Squadrons of Main Battle Tanks supported by an infantry Company ; conversley, a more defensive battlegroup may be structured around an infantry battalion, with two companies and an armoured squadron. In support would be a reconnaissance troop, a low-level air defence detachment, an anti-tank section and engineering detachment, plus artillery support. In the British Army , an armoured or mechanised division could expect to have as many as twelve separate battlegroups at its disposal, with three or four in each brigade.
