Tyne-Tees Regiment

Tyne-Tees Regiment

The Tyne-Tees Regiment was a regiment of the British Territorial Army.

History

The "Regiment" was formed in 1999 by the amalgamation of the 6th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (Volunteers), 4th/5th Battalion The Green Howards (Yorkshire Volunteers) and 7th Battalion, The Light Infantry due to the implementation of the reforms of the Territorial Army envisaged in the Strategic Defence Review. The HQ is based at Durham and the "Regiment" was composed of 5 companies:

*A (Green Howards) Company
*B (Green Howards) Company
*C (Durham Light Infantry) Company
*X (Fusilier) Company
*Z (Fusilier) Company

The "Regiment" was part of 15 (North East) Brigade and is presently the Territorial unit of Infantry in the area stretching from Scarborough in North Yorkshire, to Alnwick in Northumberland. On July 4th 2003 a composite company was dispatched to Iraq and was the first TA Infantry unit to be compulsorily mobilised since the Suez Crisis in 1956. The three platoons deployed there served at Basra Palace, Basra Airport and Shaibah Logistics Base and were rotated around at intervals during this difficult and unstable period in Iraq's history. A 4th platoon augmented the company formed from The East of England Regiment. In 2004 a platoon was deployed to Iraq as part of a company of the East and West Riding Regiment.

As part of the restructuring of the infantry announced in 2004, the Tyne-Tees Regiment was broken up, with its constituent companies going to their parent regiments:
*A & B Companies will likely form part of the 4th (V) Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment
*X, Z and C Companies formed the 5th (V) Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
