The echelons are further divided into A echelon and B echelon.

So A echelon is the ones that's closer to the action.

This delivers more urgent supplies, so food, fuel, ammunition.

And they also take care of the personal possessions, all equipment.

So you have a sort of canvas tote bag with all your kit in.

They're in charge of that.

And then B echelon is further away from the action, and that's more like tents, clothing.

Exactly that.

They can all do it in the field.

That's how it's been designed specifically for that purpose.

And they absolutely do.

But it's worth reminding people that 14% of the British Army is infantry.

Yeah.
