The Kent and Sharpshooters Yeomanry was a unit of the Territorial Army ('TA') that was established in 1961 as the Kent and County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters).

[1] Initially, it served as an armoured reconnaissance regiment until 1967 when the Territorial Army (TA) underwent re-organization.

Following the re-organization, the unit was disbanded and reconstituted as three separate units:[1] In 1969, the artillery battery was transformed into (265 London & Kent) Squadron, which became a part of 71 (Yeomanry) Signal Regiment of the Royal Signals.

[1] In 1971, the squadron was re-designated as 265 (Kent and County of London Yeomanry) Squadron, and in 1987, its lineage was transferred to HQ (Kent and County of London Yeomanry) Squadron, which was also a component of 71 (Yeomanry) Signal Regiment.

[1] Today two squadrons retain the Sharpshooters name: The Kent and Sharpshooters Yeomanry Museum is at Hever Castle in Kent.
