[1] United Kingdom Field Army was headquartered at Erskine Barracks in Wilton and responsible for organising home defence forces.

The UK Field Army was described by senior officers as "roughly the home equivalent of the British Corps in West Germany", but its commander told Beevor that it was 'not a coherent organisation'.

[4][3] Land Command was later divided in 2003, under the LANDmark reorganisation, into two suborganisations, Field Army and Regional Forces, that paralleled the Cold War structure of UKLF.

In 2007 it was announced that a new deployable divisional HQ would be established until at least 2011, as a means of meeting the UK's commitments to provide divisional HQs on a rotational basis to Regional Command (South) in Afghanistan and as the lead nation of Multi-National Division (South-East) in Iraq.

[8] In its place a new post of Commander, Land Forces was created, to be held by a lieutenant general (three-star rank).

[4] Land Operations Command was established on 2 September 2019 as a staff branch within Headquarters Field Army in Andover.
