There are currently nine regular cavalry regiments of the British Army, with two tank regiments provided by the Royal Tank Regiment, traditionally classed alongside the cavalry, for a total of eleven regiments. Of these, five serve as armoured regiments, and five as formation reconnaissance regiments, with one in a specialist role. All are part of the Royal Armoured Corps, with the exception of the Household Cavalry, nominally a separate corps. A further four regiments of the Territorial Army are classed as yeomanry, and serve in the cavalry role. This will change as of Army 2020.
