Future Army Structure
The FAS reforms, announced in 2004, resulted in a rebalancing of the TA in 2006. As part of this rebalancing, the West Riding Artillery ceased training on its Rapier FSC equipment on 1 April 2006 in preparation for its new role as a Surveillance and Target Acquisition (STA) Battery. 269 Battery was formally handed over to 101 (Northumbrian) Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers) at a ceremony in Carlton Barracks, Leeds on 5 September 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words future, army and/or structure:
“The future of America may or may not bring forth a black President, a woman President, a Jewish President, but it most certainly always will have a suburban President. A President whose senses have been defined by the suburbs, where lakes and public baths mutate into back yards and freeways, where walking means driving, where talking means telephoning, where watching means TV, and where living means real, imitation life.”
—Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)
“Olivia Dandridge: You don’t have to say it, Captain. I know all this is because of me. Because I wanted to see the West. Because I wasn’t, I wasn’t army enough to stay the winter.
Capt. Brittles: You’re not quite army yet miss, or you’d know never to apologize. It’s a sign of weakness.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
