The Militia was instead renamed the 'Special Reserve', and was permanently suspended after the First World War (although a handful of Militia units survived in the United Kingdom, its colonies, and the Crown Dependencies). The oldest of these organisations was the Militia Force (also referred to as the 'Constitutional Force'), whereby the Reserve Forces units mostly lost their own identities, and became numbered Territorial Force sub-units of regular British Army corps or regiments (the Home Militia had followed this path, with the Militia Infantry units becoming numbered battalions of British Army regiments, and the Militia Artillery integrating within Royal Artillery territorial divisions in 18, and becoming parts of the Royal Field Artillery or Royal Garrison Artillery in 1902 (though retaining their traditional corps names), but was not merged into the Territorial Force when it was created in 1908 (by the merger of the Yeomanry and Volunteer Force). The British military (those parts of the British Armed Forces tasked with land warfare, as opposed to the naval forces) historically was divided into a number of 'forces', of which the British Army (also referred to historically as the 'Regular Army' and the 'Regular Force') was only one. Since 1990, reductions have been almost constant, through succeeding defence reviews: Options for Change (1990), Front Line First (1994), the Strategic Defence Review of 1998, Delivering Security in a Changing World (2003), the Army 2020 Restructuring (2010), the Army 2020 Refine (2015), and Defence in a Competitive Age (2021). Since the 1957 Defence White Paper which re-roled British forces in Germany in favour of nuclear weapons and the end of National Service, the size of the British Army has consistently shrunk. An example would be a squadron of tanks attached to an armoured infantry battle group, together with a reconnaissance troop, artillery battery, and engineering support. For operational tasks, a battle group will be formed around a combat unit, supported by units or sub-units from other areas. An infantry regiment is an administrative and ceremonial organisation only, and may include several battalions. Naming conventions of units differ for traditional British historical reasons, creating a significant opportunity for confusion an infantry battalion is equivalent to a cavalry regiment. All units within the British Army service are either Regular (full-time) or Army Reserve (full-time or part-time), or a combination with sub-units of each type. In some Regiments and Corps called squadrons or batteries, sub-divided into platoons or troops. Major units are battalion-sized, with minor units being company sized sub-units. The command structure within the British Army is hierarchical with divisions and brigades controlling groupings of units from an administrative perspective. Subordinate to that post, there is a Commander Field Army, and a personnel and UK operations command, Home Command. The Army is commanded by the Chief of the General Staff (CGS), with Army Headquarters which is located in Andover, Hampshire. The structure of the British Army is being reorganised to the Future Soldier structure.
