Structure
As with all armoured regiments the structure was based around the Squadron concept. The number of troops in a squadron changed and so did the number of squadrons but the basic premise remained and still remains the same.
Headquarter Squadron (HQ Sqn) - command, control and administration. Recce and Guided Weapons troops were also a component part of HQ Sqn.
A Squadron (D of E Sqn) - Sabre*
B Squadron (B Sqn) - Sabre
C Squadron (C Sqn) - Sabre
D Squadron (D Sqn) - Sabre
* The designation "Sabre" indicates a fighting squadron, a throwback to the days of horses.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
