It was part of the Royal Tank Regiment, itself part of the Royal Armoured Corps and the 1st Mechanized Brigade. HistoryFounded as B Battalion, Tank Corps in 1917, the 2 RTR first saw action in World War I with the advent of tank technology. In 1992, it merged with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment, keeping their own original title. It became the second regiment to be equipped with the Challenger 2 in 1998.[1] Sabre squadrons were deployed by the regiment to Iraq on Operation Telic in 2003 and 2007.[2][3] After a long period in Fallingbostel, Germany, the regiment moved back to Aliwal Barracks in Tidworth in July 2007.[4] On 25 June 2008 at Buckingham Palace, both 1RTR and 2RTR were presented with their new Standard by The Queen, which included the new Battle Honour of Al Basrah 2003.[5] Units were deployed to Afghanistan on Operation Herrick in 2010.[6] In August 2014 the regiment merged with 1RTR to form the Royal Tank Regiment.
