Special Reconnaissance RegimentSpecial Reconnaissance Regiment, which became operational in April 2005, held its inaugural parade on Friday 2nd September 2005 at an undisclosed location. Based in Credenhill, Hereford, the SRR is a British Army unit involved in surveillance operations, particularly against suspected international terrorists. This is the newest special forces regiment in the British Army, created by then Secretary of State for Defence, Geoff Hoon. It was formed in response to a need for greater ‘force against terrorism’. Few details are publicly available, but it is believed that the unit is less than half the size of the SAS, and that it is in effect the latest incarnation of 14 Intelligence Company (a.k.a. the Joint Communications Unit) that has performed a similar role against Irish Republican terrorism in Northern Ireland since the 1970s. The SRR is to absorb intelligence operations from 14 Intelligence and the SAS. The SRR cap badge consists of a Corinthian helmet placed in front of a Special Forces sword with a scroll underneath depicting the word 'reconnaissance'. This reflects the SAS and SBS cap badges in design, ensuring conformity within the UK Special Forces Group. The Corinthian style helmet, favoured by the ancient Greeks, was used from the early 7th to the 4th centuries BC. The helmet is facing forwards and suggests the viewer is being watched, while the wearer behind the mask is anonymous. This badge is an affordable quality copy of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment cap badge, as original examples are extremely difficult to find and expensive. The badge measures 64 mm in height x 44 mm across, is embroidered in gold and silver thread, and has black backing. This is part of a limited order made by a military tailor New, Unissued condition.
