1st Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Brigade (1 ISR Bde) of the British Army was created as part of the Army 2020 reform, to command military intelligence, ISTAR, and electronic warfare units.

Brigade

Under the Army 2020 programme, a larger emphasis was placed on cyber and specialist capabilities. As part of this reorganisation, the 1st Military Intelligence Brigade and Royal Artillery UAV Regiments were merged with the addition of the Honourable Artillery Company and the two reserve Special Air Service (SAS) Regiments into the 1st Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Brigade. The new brigade was stood up on 1 September 2014 at Upavon and placed under Force Troops Command.[1] [2]

Group

Under the Future Soldier programme announced on 25 November 2021, the brigade will be reduced to a Colonel's Command, be renamed Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Group and transfer from 6th Division to 'Field Army Troops'. The role of the group is to be to command the Army's miniature UAS, tactical UAS, counter-intelligence, and reach back intelligence capabilities, the Specialist Group Military Intelligence, and Land Intelligence Fusion Centre. It will also command the Land Image Intelligence Company, a pool of experts who deliver image analysis for all the Army's image collection platforms.[3]
