|| BA :|| 16th Assault Brigade #14847289
Description
16 Air Assault Brigade (16 Air Asslt Bde) is a formation of the British Army based in Colchester in Essex. It is the Army's rapid response airborne formation and is the only Operational Brigade in the British Army capable of delivering Air Manoeuvre, Air Assault and Airborne operations. It was formed as part of the defence reforms implemented by the Strategic Defence Review on 1 September 1999 by the merging of the 24 Airmobile Brigade and elements of the 5th Airborne Brigade. This grouping created a highly mobile brigade of parachute units and airmobile units which employ helicopters.[1] It is the only airborne brigade within the British Army, and in line with current Dress Regulations members of the parachute regiment wear the maroon beret.
