Army: Recruitment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the establishment of the 6th Division will result in servicemen and servicewomen being recruited from 77th brigade.
- Answer
-
The formation of 6th (UK) Division brings together five existing Army brigades, including 77th Brigade. The Division will enhance the Army's ability to conduct intelligence, counter-intelligence and information operations as well as respond to electronic, cyber and unconventional warfare threats. The brigades involved include reserve units which will play a full part in 6th Division activity. No new funding has been allocated as this is a rebalancing of existing units not the creation of new ones.
