  • The Royal Wessex Yeomanry (RWxY) is an armoured regiment of the British Territorial Army consisting of four squadrons. Currently part of 43 (Wessex) Brigade, they will support the Reactive Brigades under the Army 2020 plan as replacements for any of the 3 Type 56 Armoured Regiments. Unlike any other regiment in the British Army, each of the squadrons wear a different cap badge - that of their antecedent yeomanry regiments: * B (Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry) Squadron * A (Dorset Yeomanry) Squadron * C (Royal Gloucestershire Hussars) Squadron * D (Royal Devon Yeomanry) Squadron Unusually, B Sqn is the senior of the four squadrons of the regiment. This is because the RWY is the senior Yeomanry regiment in the Yeomanry Order of Precedence, having been raised in 1794. It is not designated as A Sqn (which would be the usual practice) because there is an A (Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry) Sqn of the Royal Yeomanry with which it could be confused. Under Army 2020, A Squadron will become a HQ squadron to reflect the same structure as the future Type 56 Challenger 2 Regiments. HRH The Earl of Wessex is the Royal Honorary Colonel of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry.
