Talk:Field Army (United Kingdom)


 * Peer review/Land Command/archive1

How to do the move?
- I missed any discussion on the page move to Field Army (United Kingdom) but, even if editors support this, the page move should be done properly rather than by cut and paste: otherwise we lose the edit history. Dormskirk (talk) 08:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Defence Fire Risk Management Organisation
The website of the Defence Fire Training and Development Centre says that in 2007 the Army took over responsibility for all MoD firefighting and thus DFTDC came under the aegis of HQ LAND via the Defence Fire Risk Management Organisation (DFRMO), having previously been part of the RAF. It's not my speciality but I'm guessing there may be other oddments like that which are not currently included in the article? Le Deluge (talk) 12:52, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right. This article currently only scratches the surface. Buckshot06 (talk) 06:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Army Reorganisation
Under a major army command reorganisation effective 1 November 2011 the Chief of the General Staff took direct command of the Army through a new structure known as "Army Headquarters". See. I therefore propose moving this article to "Army Headquarters (United Kingdom)". We can then use "Army Headquarters" as a disambiguation page as several countries use the terminology "Army Headquarters". I hope everyone is Ok with this. Dormskirk (talk) 20:49, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Do Not. This is a page for all the single land force commands since 1972. Army Headquarters is just that. This page should actually have been left at Land Command, because HQ LF is not a command, it's some sort of in-between thing. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually looking at the link, this page should be reconfigured as 'Commander Land Force', the new three-star post. That's the linear succeesor. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:07, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * "Commander Land Forces" is a possibility but as I understand it the substance of the move is that the Chief of the General Staff has absorbed the role of Commander-in-Chief. So it is the CGS who is the Commander and he has chosen the title "Army Headquarters" See . I don't think the Commander Land Forces will actually be the decision maker. Also note that the Adjutant-General and Commander Development and Training (who did report to the Commander-in-Chief) will now report direct to the CGS so I think the CGS is now the linear successor. Dormskirk (talk) 21:36, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This page is about the command of the field formations of the army in the UK since 1972. Commander Land Forces is now a post, rather than having a command attached to him, but is the linear successor to StratCom, UKLF, Land Command, and HQ LF. Thus I believe we should rename the page Commander Land Forces. Alternately we should leave this page at HQ LF, as there is no command anymore, and simply create a new appoinment page for CLF. Buckshot06 (talk) 09:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you make a fair point and I now agree that "Commander Land Forces" is the best choice. I will move the article if there are no further objections. Dormskirk (talk) 22:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Name?
Hi @Dormskirk, shouldn't this page be called "Land Command (British Army)" instead of just "Land Command", there are several Land Commands out there in the world. And possibly a disambig page? Coldstreamer20 (talk) 18:19, 6 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I would support that but please seek to the support of other editors first. By the way I think you have put the question on the wrong page (it should be at Talk:Land Command). Dormskirk (talk) 18:31, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
