 The
QRH was formed on the 1st September 1993, with the amalgamation of The
Queen's Own Hussars and the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars. The Regiment
has been particularly active since amalgamation. It was the first regiment
to deploy Challenger 1 tanks into Bosnia with the NATO Stabilisation Force
in 1996 and soon after it deployed to Northern Ireland in the dismounted
role.
An
independent Tank Squadron deployed to Kosovo in 2001 with Challenger 2
tanks, before the Regiment deployed as a whole later that year in the
dismounted role. The current Regiment embodies the traditions and fighting
spirit of its' predecessors. It is currently based in Sennelager, Germany
where it makes up the Armoured Regiment of 20 Armoured Brigade.
