Hello all,
I am new to this forum, @ploughman's post brought me here when I saw he posted my BAOR document. I just posted the updated version:
https://www.orbat85.nl/documents/BAOR-July-1989.pdf
Updated the following:
-Gurkha Coys roles explained
- GDP for Para Regt Gp added
- expanded on the RE section regarding the change to Close Support/General Support Engineer Regts
- added explanation and roles of General Service Units
Again, the devil is in the details, please peruse it and you will find many more additions & explanations. As always please feel free to add or correct, I will credit you in whatever manner you like.
@RAFMT
I intend to add an RAF Germany section, do you mind if I utilize what you posted, I will give you complete credit.
Finally,
I recently discovered that in 1980/81 there were 243 Saladin & 600 or so Saracen in the inventory. As you can see by my document I can only account for 12 Saladin & 250 Sarcen by 1989. Would that be just vehicles that are "in-service" I can't believe they scrapped/sold that many vehicles in so short at time, especially in light of all the official documents I'm receiving where there is mention of looking for equipment for possible new units (COGRAM) & WMR.
