  • Question re PDF Infantry Batallions

    Hi

    If it's not going to be a breach of national Security can someone tell me please what is the notional or paper structure of the regular PDF infantry battallions of which there are supposed to be 9.

    What I'm looking for is stuff like

    1 HQ Company
    1 Weapons Company (incl Javelin .5 inch HMG's etc)
    3 X Rifle Companies

    I'm just curious to know.

    Thanks

    The Army is organised on conventional military lines providing a sufficiently flexible structure to carry out all the roles assigned by Government. The Army is a standing force and provides the primary capabilities for joint military operations at home and combined military Peace Support Operations abroad.


    Any further breakdown the isn't already in the public domain is restricted

      There is a book called "Irish Army Orders of Battles", by Adrian J English, available via Amazon that gives a breakdown to platoon level.

        Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

            I think he was being sarcastic. Anyway, as Dev has already said:
