I'm sure the former members of the Unsafe Document Regiment are glad that their name lives on somewhere

I should have made a point that the Royal Irish are split into two seperate sections - General Service and Home Service Battalions. The GS are a normal regular army formation that can be tasked exactly the same as any other unit, and consist mostly of what was formerly the Rangers and the HS units are exclusively deployed and based in NI. Whether that would stay the same in the event of the Twilight War is anyones guess, but I can see high desertion rates if any attempt was made to deploy the HS Battalion overseas, or even to mainland UK.
