Sir Bernard Law Montgomery would frequently wear the regiment's beret, with his Field Marshal's badge sewn on next to the regimental cap badge, as it was more practical whilst travelling on a tank than either a formal peaked hat or the Australian slouch hat he previously wore. Post-war period After service in the Korean War, the RTR was reduced through various amalgamations, firstly, in 1959–60: 3 RTR and 6 RTR amalgamated as 3 RTR 4 RTR and 7 RTR amalgamated as 4 RTR 5 RTR and 8 RTR amalgamated as 5 RTR In 1969, 5RTR was disbanded, while, in 1992 under Options for Change, 4RTR amalgamated with 1RTR, and 3RTR amalgamated with 2RTR. The Royal Tank Regiment continued to see action including missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. Elements of 1RTR were deployed to Afghanistan in 2002 and both regiments were involved in the invasion of Iraq, with the 2RTR battlegroup involved in taking Basra. Both regiments continued deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, with the final tour to Afghanistan taking place in 2013. On 2 August 2014, 1RTR and 2RTR amalgamated at Bulford, and for the first time in its history the Royal Tank Regiment became a "Single Battalion" Regiment. The new regiment is titled the Royal Tank Regiment. Current status The regiment is equipped with Challenger 2 tanks and based at Tidworth coming under 12th Armoured Infantry Brigade following the Army 2020 refine. Unlike the other Type 56 Challenger 2 Regiments, the RTR also has an CBRN reconnaissance squadron operating the Fuchs reconnaissance vehicle which forms part of 28 Engineer Regiment. Thus the regiment comprises six squadrons: Ajax – Challenger 2 armoured squadron Badger – Challenger 2 armoured squadron Cyclops – Challenger 2 armoured squadron Dreadnaught – Challenger 2 armoured squadron Egypt – Headquarters, Command, and Reconnaissance squadron Falcon – CBRN reconnaissance squadron (under 28 Engineer Regiment) Regimental museum The Tank Museum, the museum of the Royal Tank Regiment, is at Bovington Camp in Dorset.
