[DS2, SG2] A useful little book

I picked up a useful little book yesterday- "The British Army- a pocket
guide 2002-2003", Charles Heyman (Ed.), Pen & Sword Books Ltd.,
Barnsley.

It has sections on all branches of the Army, tail as well as teeth, with
notes on equipment, Orbats, training regimes etc.  Not at all bad for
£4.95

In the section on infantry, and specifically the Armoured Infantry
Battalion, I was interested to see this:
"In response to the recent pressure for the formation of Assault Pioneer
Platoons, the 3rd rifle platoon in the 3rd rifle company has been moved
to
the Manoeuvre Support Company amd trained as Assault Pioneers"
