The Formation Reconnaissance Regiment is one of two organisations currently provided by cavalry regiments of the British Army. Until recently, it was known as the Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment. Formation reconnaissance regiments, as the name would indicate, are intended to provide Armoured Reconnaissance for a higher-level formation, usually a division or a heavy brigade.〔Note that in British terminology, a cavalry regiment is a battalion-sized unit.〕 In a large-scale defensive operation, they would delay attacking forces, whilst screening heavier units as they moved to engage the enemy. The regiments are, currently, almost entirely equipped with vehicles of the CVR(T) family. ==Current use== Currently, five regular army regiments are equipped for the formation reconnaissance role: *Household Cavalry Regiment *1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards *9th/12th Royal Lancers *Light Dragoons *Queen's Royal Lancers The Queen's Own Yeomanry is the sole Territorial unit equipped for this role. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「formation reconnaissance regiment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
