Re: Information needed please.
just a quick messeage to say that the Parachute Regiment in britan is
more likely known as the para's and most here consider them insane and only a step below an SAS soldier. the SAS is a unit that works undercover with identification unkown and in iraq stopped many journalist from taking there picture by hiding there faces. most regemints in the british army have there own regimental colors(flag). hope this helps |

According to army.mod.uk and nationmaster.com "its military structureAfter I posted that request I stumbled onto the wikapedia site which did a decent job of detailing the organizational structure. There are two ready divisions, 1st armored and 2nd mechanized infantry which have core regiments, but can be augmented by adding additional regiments under the divisional commander. It sounds pretty unwieldy to me, but if it works for them, who am I to tell them they are wrong. The corp level units exist mostly on paper only. Corps are constructed as needed, built around an administrative regiment. Unlike the US, the UK has no standing corps, they have the structure of one and it can be activated in times of war, but in peace its mostly a toothless entity. This is all assuming that the wikapedia information is correct. I believe I have enough information to work with now. And I do appreciate everyone that replied. Finally, as an aside to whomever coded the MOD website. GET A CLUE! Just trying to find out basic information is like pulling teeth from a jellyfish! :) - Bob |

it is divided into corps (administrative groupings by common function), and divisions and brigades (large formations, somewhat fluid in nature)" It is made up of five divisions (six if you include HQ Northern Ireland) each one comprising 3-6 brigades. Specialist units include 15(UK)Psychological Operations Group and the Special Forces. In terms of special forces the British have the SAS (Special Air Service), the SBS (Special Boat Service), 16 AAB (Air Assault Brigade, Pathfinder Platoon, the Parachute Regiment, and the No.47 Squadron (Special Forces flight) RAF. The SAS also serves as an anti Terrorism unit along with the SO19 Firearms unit of the Metropolitan Police. The unit nearest to Hogwarts would probably be the 52nd infantry brigade, currently based in Edinburgh Castle. Hope this helps! Balint D.

Re: Information needed please.

As I understand it.
england runs Regimental Units, Which are the same size as the US Units. With 2-3 British units to a division so they are about half the size of US divisional sizes. They dont designate them like the US does, some units are 'named' ,these are Colour Units, eg: queens guard, Black Watch, SAS, etc etc, but there are also just '1st Tank Regiment' and so on. This is all done on the Regimental designation not Division as the Brits dont seem to believe in Division size deployment in formation rather regimental. Cheers Finbar |

Information needed please.
OK I'm tossing in the towel here. I have searched high and low on the
net trying to find out informaiton about the British Military. Specifically the army, unit designations etc. If I were working with the american military it would be a lot easier, but I couldn't find enough information to work with here. I am far more familar with my own country's military than I am with Britain's. So if someone can answer these questions I would appreciate it. Does the UK have units in division sizes, or corp sized (a corp comprises mutliple divisions) And if so, what do they call them? For example here in the US, there are divisions like 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles), 7th Cavalery (air Mobile infantry), 5th Armored (Heavy Tank Division) I know there are unit like the Welsh Guards but I have no clue how big that outfit is. I've searched the MOD website for information, but came up empty handed. I have to wonder if the lack of information is part of the post 911 security some countries have put into place. ANd if that is the case I can assure you, I am an author of Fan Fic, not a terrorist... ok I am a barbarian, but not a terrorist. MORE PILLAGING!!! - bob |

Re: Harry's Leg
开云体育My best friend tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and had to have
surgery on it.? He is considered to be permanently disabled now - roughly
30% loss of mobility, if I remember correctly.
?
That scene was completely believable.? It's up to the writer to decide
what magic can do - Moody has a false leg and false eye - but it's completely
believable that the magical 'tech' has improved enough to now allow regeneration
- if the author wants it that way.? (Canon example: Wolfsbane potion didn't
exist when Remus was in school, but did by the time he returned as a
teacher.)

Harry's injury to his leg and its resultant healing has followed a logical course of physical therapy and a realistic healing. It is not uncommon to experience long lasting effects after a traumatic injury has healed. Harry's lack of progress is not a reflection of something Dumbledore is doing and more a reflection on the fact that the extent of the injury will prevent him from recovering 100% use of that leg again. - Bob |

Harry's Leg
Given everything Fumbledork has tried and Greasy's hatred of Harry, Are they
responsible for the lack of progress on Harry's recovery. I would'nt put it past Bumblebore to order it as a means to control Harry's mobility. Or that Snape would alter any potions meant for Harry to be less than effective just because he could cause Harry pain while appearing to do the right thing. Any way loving the story and eagerly awaiting the next update. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page |

Do you mind sending it to the author so they can look over the file, and see what's wrong, and send it back to you in the right way? I suspects this might be the same for the other fanfiction. |
