The TA is what helps the British Army function properly and without them they would not be able to do
their jobs to the same standards that people have come to expect. The TA accounts for roughly one quarter of the Army
and they are constantly taking part in operations at home and abraod.
The TA wasn't organised in Northern Ireland
until 1947 although there were two small units but they did not serve in either of the wars.
Shortly after 1967 the TA called themselves
The Royal Irish Rangers, a name which they still retain today.
The TA will always be a useful and vital resource
within the British Army. There has always been a healthy competitiveness between the Army and the TA but they will always
be there if either one needs them.
