New British special operations regiment
British Army Recon
The U.K.'s Ministry of Defence is reporting, as is NavySEALs.com, that the British Army is standing up a new Special Reconnaissance Regiment.
According to a statement issued by the Defence Ministry, the new regiment "will provide improved support to expeditionary operations overseas and form part of the Defence contribution to the Government's comprehensive strategy to counter international terrorism. The SRR will bring together personnel from existing capabilities and become the means of the further development of the capability. Due to the specialist nature of the unit, it will come under the command of the Director Special Forces and be a part of the UK Special Forces group."
