Territorial Battalions
- Queen Victoria’s Rifles
- The Rangers
- The Queen's Westminsters
In World War II these territorial battalions were made formally part of the KRRC as follows:
- 1st Battalion Queen Victoria's Rifles – 7th Battalion KRRC
- 2nd Battalion Queen Victoria's Rifles – 8th Battalion KRRC
- 1st Battalion The Rangers – 9th Battalion KRRC
- 2nd Battalion The Rangers – 10th Battalion KRRC
- 1st Battalion The Queen's Westminsters – 11th Battalion KRRC
- 2nd Battalion The Queen's Westminsters – 12th Battalion KRRC
As well as the territorial battalions there were the cadet battalions. Even today the KRRC 1st Cadet Battalion still exists. The units that still survive are A Company 231 KRRC (Paddington) Rifles ACF, B Company 232 KRRC (Westminster) Rifles ACF, C Company 233 KRRC (Camden) Rifles ACF and up until recent years D Company 234 KRRC (Putney) RGJ ACF, which formed the London Oratory School RGJ ACF unit (now CCF) although they were rebadged as Irish Guards in 2010 (making them the last remaining RGJ unit and also the first Irish Guards CCF unit).
