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.
