Gibraltar ORBAT?

[dude_uk]

I feel somewhat greedy posting an entire new thread dedicated to one small question. (Perhaps a small questions thread is needed?)

But essentially I was wondering if anyone could consult their books and tell me the ORBAT for the UK Garrison at Gibraltar (If there is one). It is more than likely in Mediterranean Cruise.

The Etranger site has it has the garrison augmented by 4 Battalion, The Parachute Regiment. But I suspect this might be home-brewed.

According to canon, British forces abandoned Gibraltar after it was nuked during the war. Seagulls and afew scavengers are all that remains.

the pre-war garrision (1985) consisted of:

1st Battalion, Duke of Wellington's Regiment and The Gibraltar Regiment (236 men organized as 3 rifle platoons and "Thompson's Battery" [2 105mm Light Guns and 4 Blowpipe MANPADS])

the source is NATO's Armies of the Central Front.

Targan and Dragoon have pretty much summed it up (obviously the regular Battalion would rotate every couple of years). Med Cruise touches on the subject but not in any great detail (it does make reference to some Gurkhas being in Gibraltar when it's nuked).

James Langham did a write up a little while ago...

Cheers guys. I'll post a TA Battalion down there in my ORBAT. I think the matlots can handle the rest.

Apologies dude_uk. Unless a specific date is included, I always assume that questions relating to published information relate to the standard time frame of the game (mid-2000 to mid-2001). That's why I said there's nothing left of organised military forces on Gibraltar. I didn't realise you were seeking info relating to earlier in the timeline.

Apologies dude_uk.

No worries, I should have stated. I really just wanted to confirm there was nothing concrete regarding the pre-war garrison.
