Product Description
- British Army I(BR) Corps' general defence plan at the end of the Cold War envisaged the 1st(BR) and 4th(BR) Armoured Divisions as the front line of defence, with the 3rd(BR) Armoured Division and its three brigades (4th, 6th and 33rd Armoured Brigades) waiting in the rear in reserve.
- Against this background, in the autumn of 1988, the British Army conducted Exercise Iron Hammer in Germany, the final exercise in the NATO Autumn Forge series.
- The total number of soldiers taking part in Iron Hammer '88 was around 25,300, including 1,600 members of the Royal Volunteer Force, as well as 275 main battle tanks, 2,000 tracked vehicles, 4,000 wheeled vehicles, and 75 helicopters.
- For combat testing, one company of the 17th/21st Lancers equipped with FV4030/4 Challenger 1 Mk.2 tanks was fitted with auxiliary fuel drums in the rear of each tank, and the division was also given the first introduction of the new infantry fighting vehicle, the FV510 Warrior ISV.
