HSF
Nate,
the HSF were formed as an extra Coy for TA units. They were distinct in their role however, being home defence only regardless of attached unit role. It would be easy to expand these to full Bns relatively easily (e.g. HSF Coy 3 WFR becomes 6WFR - 4 is reserved for TA [and has probably reformed] and the 5th Bn was a cadet unit). As all members in the Coy pre-expansion were ready trained it should be easy to expand provided you don't mind lower standards across the unit. Where you will suffer is logistically with the need for kit (as basic as uniforms but especially heavier weapons). For basing you can use the existing TA centres (supplemented by local cadet huts which are more widespread).
Regarding reforming units, I can't think of a modern example, instead you are more likely to add extra Bns to existing units.
