The Formation Reconnaissance Regiment is a fighting unit provided by the Royal Armoured Corps or Household Cavalry. Previously it was known as a Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment.
Formation reconnaissance regiments are intended to provide Armoured Reconnaissance for a higher-level formation, usually a division or a heavy brigade.[lower-alpha 1] In a large-scale defensive operation, they would delay attacking forces, whilst screening heavier units as they moved to engage the enemy.
