The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse is adopted as the C squadron of the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry as a Light Cavalry Squadron.[2]
It is a Yeomanry Squadron of the Queen's Own Yeomanry part of the British Territorial Army (Army Reserve). It was formed following the amalgamation of The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and The Scottish Horse regiments.
The squadron is C Squadron of the Queen's Own Yeomanry which is assigned to the 15 (North East) Brigade, 2nd Division. Because of the geographic spread of the regiment C Squadron is administered by 51st (Scottish) Brigade.
The Queen's Own Yeomanry is the only yeomanry regiment that serves in the formation reconnaissance role, equipped with the Scimitar and Spartan armoured reconnaissance vehicles. On mobilisation, it would reinforce one of the regular army formation reconnaissance regiments. The squadron provided personnel for active service during Operation TELIC, where they served with their regular counterparts in the Royal Armoured Corps.
The FFY/SH and its antecedent regiments have won numerous battle honours and one Victoria Cross.
