It was formed in 1939 as 4th Regiment Royal Horse Artillery before being redesignated in 1961. It is currently based at Alanbrooke Barracks in Topcliffe and serves in the light field artillery role, equipped with 105mm Light Guns. The regiment's tactical groups direct air, rocket, and artillery support from other formations, services, or allies.[1] The Regiment moved from Roberts Barracks in Osnabruck, Germany at the end of 2008 where it had previously been stationed for over 20 years. The Regiment's main recruiting area is in the North East of England, and so significant effort has been put into re-establishing links, especially to the city of Sunderland where the Regiment holds the Freedom of the City. These strong links to the local area gives the Regiment its name The North East Gunners.[2] HistoryFormation and World War IIThe regiment took part in World War II:

Under Army 2020 Refine the regiment will comprise artillery fire observers, joint terminal attack controllers, intelligence, surveillance, targeting, acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) operators, and fire-planning staff.[1] The Regiment's Army Reserve pairing is with 103 Regiment RA, based in the North West of England.[6] Current sub-unitsThe regiment commands the following batteries:[7]
