The British Army currently operates a system called "Arms -Plot" under which Battalions constantly move around between different postings after a set period of time (usually two - three years, but can be shorter or longer), so in theory you can more or less have any Battalion assigned anywhere you please. I think pretty much the only requirement would probably be to have several Guards battalions based in London.

For example, 1st Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusilers (to pick a random Battalion) could spend three years in Germany as armoured infantry then redploy to Cyprus for two years in a light infantry role then go to Northern Ireland, etc, etc.

Armoured and Artillery Regiments also rotate, albeit to a lesser extent as there were fewer places they were deployed to.

(It should be noted that Arms-Plot has been deemed to be an inefficient process, so it is in the process of being phased out).
