History
In 2019, the new Regional Point of Command, Headquarters South West was formed after its predecessor the 1st Artillery Brigade was moved under the direct control of the 3rd (United Kingdom) Division. The command is not the only one of its type, the other command Headquarters North West was formed in 2018 when the 42nd (North West) Brigade was disbanded. In 2019, another two brigades; 38th (Irish) Brigade and 160th (Welsh) Brigade were moved under Regional Command. These four commands will control units based in their areas and be able to help the civil, local, and military population in the area. It is unknown if the group will actually control any units directly.
