The Royal Irish Regiment (27th (Inniskilling) 83rd and 87th and Ulster Defence Regiment) : ウィキペディア英語版
Royal Irish Regiment (1992)
:''For the regiment of the same name, disbanded in 1922, see Royal Irish Regiment (1684–1922)''
The Royal Irish Regiment (27th (Inniskilling) 83rd and 87th and Ulster Defence Regiment Conspicuous Gallantry Cross) (R IRISH) is an infantry regiment of the British Army. The regiment was founded in 1992 through the amalgamation of the Royal Irish Rangers and the Ulster Defence Regiment. Their oldest predecessor; the 27th Regiment of Foot; was first raised in June 1689 to fight in the Williamite War in Ireland. Other notable regiments in their lineage include the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Royal Irish Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusiliers (Princess Victoria's).
The motto of the regiment is ''Faugh A Ballagh'' (Modern Irish: ''Fág an Bealach''), derived from the Irish Gaelic phrase for "Clear the Way". This originates from the Peninsular War, when Ensign Edward Keogh of the 87th Regiment of Foot let out the cry while capturing a French Imperial Eagle at the Battle of Barrosa. The Regimental Headquarters of the Royal Irish Regiment has been Palace Barracks, Holywood in County Down, Northern Ireland since moving there in 2008.
==1992 creation==
With an antecedence reaching back to 1688, the regiment was formed in 1992. The creation followed the Options for Change proposals which recommended the amalgamation of the Royal Irish Rangers and the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR). Most of the membership of the new regiment came from the UDR. This produced an overwhelmingly Ulster Protestant regiment with eleven battalions:
*Regular Army – General Service
*
*1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*
*2nd Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*Territorial Army
*
*4th Battalion, Royal Irish Rangers
*
*5th Battalion, Royal Irish Rangers
*Regular Army — Northern Ireland Resident Battalions (Home Service)
*
*3rd (County Down) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*
*4th (County Fermanagh and County Tyrone) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*
*5th (County Londonderry) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*
*6th (County Armagh) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment (former 2nd/11th Battalion UDR)
*
*7th (City of Belfast) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*
*8th (County Tyrone) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
*
*9th (County Antrim) Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment
The Home Service battalions, permanently based in Northern Ireland, filled the role formerly occupied by the UDR, assisting the Royal Ulster Constabulary (with a focus on combatting militant Irish republicanism), in Northern Ireland during Operation Banner. The 1st and 2nd Battalions could serve worldwide as general service battalions.
Because of its size, the regiment was removed from the King's Division and existed within its own Division of infantry. In 1993, the two regular battalions were amalgamated as 1 R IRISH. In 2001, the number of Home Service battalions reduced to three:
*2nd Battalion — amalgamation of 7th and 9th Battalions
*3rd Battalion — amalgamation of 3rd and 8th Battalions
*4th Battalion — amalgamation of 4th and 5th Battalions
