The Regimental Headquarters Armoured Divisions was a standard organisation capable of commanding 3 or 4 batteries of various types. For some types and combinations of batteries, RHQ had extra personnel and vehicles. These were mostly to the repair and maintenance sections. The tables below are based on the Organisation for Manoeuvre rather than the War Establishment as this is more likely to be used in the field and includes the attached Royal Signals personnel.
