Townsville-based 3rd Combat Brigade. He quoted Army insiders who believe that 1st Armoured Regiment personnel will be transferred to supplement the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. Greene suggested a key factor for the restructure is that the current structure, without adequate IFVs, was no longer viable. Neil James of the Australian Defence Association commented that "The DSR in terms of the army and in the short term, was mainly concerned with saving money and that's probably driving this change rather than any long-term thought". Others have suggested that the 'Army is change fatigued' which may be contributing to retention and recruiting issues and the desire to remove underpopulated 'hollow' units from the force. Likewise, the issues of an army model based on brigades of singular capabilities are not new and have been addressed in previous restructures. Significant issues were identified during the deployment to East Timor in 1999, which manifested during subsequent missions to Iraq, Afghanistan and the Solomon Islands over the 2000s, where there were simply not enough units, units were under-equipped for close combat, there was a lack of combined-arms training and there was widespread shallowness of capability across Army. These issues ultimately resulted in a range of initiatives such as the Hardened and Networked Army, Enhanced Land Force, Strategic Force Generation Cycle and

Adelaide. However, its sister infantry unit, 7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment is to be disbanded, with the unit number re-linked with the 5th Battalion in Darwin to reform 5th/7th Battalion. This decision consolidates all the Army's heavy armour, including all its tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, self-propelled howitzers and armoured engineering systems in a single brigade in Townsville. Concurrent to this, the Army's attack aviation and heavy-lift aviation is also being consolidated into Townsville and the 9th Combat Brigade is to be re-roled as a Security and Response brigade, reducing the Army's four Combat brigades to a Light Littoral Brigade, an Armoured Brigade and a Motorised Brigade. Ground-based air defence and long-range strike capabilities will now form part of another formation, the 10th Brigade, in Adelaide. The removal of 1st Armoured Regiment as a combat unit, the RAAC's oldest regular unit and one of its most decorated, effectively reduces the number of active combat Armour units in the Army to two; the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Townsville and 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment in Brisbane, with the latter equipped with the Boxer CRV only. This is the fewest number of regular Armour units in the Australian Army's order of battle since 1966, when 1st Cavalry Regiment was raised to serve alongside 1st Armoured Regiment.

Military Force (CMF). While additional 'numbered' Regular RAAC units were created in the following decades, e.g., the 1st Armoured Personnel Carrier Squadron, CMF unit titles continued to reflect the numbers of amalgamated former Light Horse regiments and their territorial affiliations which signify their links to their recruiting catchment areas, e.g., the 6th New South Wales Mounted Rifles, 7th/21st Australian Horse and 8th/13th Victorian Mounted Rifles. During the early 1950s Army maintained two CMF armoured brigades, the 1st Armoured Brigade in New South Wales and the 2nd Armoured Brigade in Victoria. In addition, divisional reconnaissance and other specialised mechanised units, such as an amphibious armoured assault unit, self-propelled artillery, and motorised infantry were also part of the force. However, as a result of the adoption of the Forward Defence Policy and subsequent restructure of the Army, the brigade headquarters and various units were either disbanded or amalgamated by the end of that decade.
884:(ACR) structure was adopted by the three regular regiments. This resulted in each regiment restructuring to an Armoured Squadron, a Cavalry Squadron and an Armoured Mobility Squadron, however these units lost their organic supporting Headquarters and Support Squadron capabilities. This was short lived, as this approach was reversed in 2017 with the armoured mobility role divested to newly (re)raised mechanised infantry battalions and mechanised combat engineer squadrons. As these elements contained their own organic mobility in the form of APCs, the Armoured Mobility Squadrons were converted to Cavalry and reequipped with ASLAV. The Regular ACRs have maintained this structure since. The third aspect of note was the relocation of 1st Armoured Regiment in 2018 south to Adelaide to collocate with the 7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. Both units initially remained part of the 1st Combat Brigade but were later transferred to the Reserve 9th Combat Brigade in 2022 under the

From the early 1970s the 1st Armoured Regiment served as the Australian Army's sole tank unit, building and maintaining Australia's conventional warfighting capability in conjunction with mechanised infantry, combat engineer and medium artillery units. The 2nd Cavalry Regiment primarily served as a formation reconnaissance unit with B Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 4th Cavalry Regiment performing the Armoured Personnel Carrier role. Army Reserve units generally adopted a composite structure of Cavalry and Armoured Personnel Carrier squadrons.

While there were fluctuations in the size and part-time/full-time nature of the units throughout the 1990s, this period was generally stable for the RAAC. Changes to the Army force structure in the 2000s resulted in the 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment becoming a Regular unit in 2005, the removal of the Armoured Personnel Carrier role from the Regular units, and the adoption of the Protected Mobility role within Reserve units.

the DSR also drastically reduced the number of infantry fighting vehicles to be acquired under
Project Land 400 Phase 3 from 450 to 129. Significant numbers of IFV and IFV based variants are needed to not only re-equip the infantry but also the engineer, artillery and supporting elements within any proposed Armoured Brigade. However, these elements continue to operate the M113AS4 APC which was considered obsolete by the Australian National Audit Office in 2012 even after Defence had upgraded 431 of the legacy vehicles.
