The regiment is equipped with various vehicles including the FV107 Scimitar , and currently serves as the formation reconnaissance regiment assigned to 1 Reconnaissance Brigade, which provides reconnaissance to 3rd (UK) Mechanised Division . The regiment was formed in 1992 through the Options For Change reforms by the amalgamation of the Life Guards and the Blues And Royals . The HCR has two squadrons from each; however, because of their history, both regiments are permitted to maintain their traditions. One squadron is assigned to the airborne role with 16 Air Assault Brigade . It is based at Combermere Barracks , Windsor, one mile from Windsor Castle . |
