The UK forces around Hong Kong and other locations in between there and Australia have served as the base unit of the 6th UK Infantry Division up until hand over of the Colony to China. Just before this the HQ was finally back to the UK as well the last Supports units and the Infantry Brigade they had their for security. It is hard call whether the Division stays puts or moves to the Korea. I would think it would serve as base for Common Wealth type of Division or larger unit that the UK and her 'Colonies' (now former) had made famous. I can see a Division in both location under the UK banner that would have 1 Combat Brigade of UK troops and rest of the Division being made up of Common Wealth troops. Same with the UK involvement in the Middle East. The UK provides the core of the Division with other Common Wealth nation sending troops to beef up the UK commitment.
