Transcription

Formation

The formation of the merged battalion was carried out on 20 May 1984,[2] and was done as result of the Royal Ulster Constabulary's territorial reorganisation.[1] In order to keep their own organisation closely linked to that of the police the UDR carried out its own reorganisation.[1]

History

Battalion HQ in Antrim became the headquarters of the new battalion with companies based at Antrim, Larne, Carrickfergus and Ballymena.[1]

The Coleraine company was transferred to 5UDR and the Lisburn company to 11UDR.[2]

1/9 UDR was responsible for the 700 square mile territory comprising South and mid-Antrim, taking in 153 square miles of Lough Neagh.[1]

1/9 UDR was one of the units merged with the Royal Irish Rangers in 1992 as part of the amalgamation which formed the Royal Irish Regiment.
