The forces posted in 1994 are probably more a reflection of the budget cuts of the 1990's, rather than actually helping defend Belize against Guatamala. During the 1980's there were 1,500.
Here's a rough ORBAT that I came up with:
633 (Belize) Signals Troop RSIGS
1 X Infantry Battalion / 1x Infantry Company (Depending on political climate)
Battery Royal Artillery
Blowpipe Troop, 43 AD Battery
52 Field Sqn RE
‘Detachment’- 7 Regiment AAC
24 Transport Sqn RCT (Until 1992)
78 (BELIZE) Coy RAOC (Until 1992)
(Belize) Provost Plt RMP
