[edit] Merge?

Please discuss here as opposed to simply removing the merge tag Weggie 17:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 321 Too important to merge

321 is still one of the most highly decorated units in the British Army, and until recently was a separate entity to 11 EOD. No need to merge. 86.143.107.249 06:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

So could you update the article - are there any sources or references you can provide to state the individual notability of this unit? Weggie 09:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

321 EOD Sqn RLC is an independant unit born out of 321 EOD Coy RAOC, which was a shadow unit of AIDU (Ammunition Inspection and Disposal Unit) RAOC which deployed to the province in 1969 to assist the existing AIDU in dealing with the increasing amount of IEDs being used by both Loyallist and Republican factions as the Troubles escalated. The Unit still maintains an ammunition Inspectorate function with personnel posted there for normal 2-3 year tours and IED response teams posted to the Unit for 4-6 month Emergency tours. In August 2007 the Unit will become part of 11 EOD Regt RLC (Who conduct ALL of the Armys' Improvised Explosive Device Disposal - IEDD - in mainland GB and BFG). 321 has a long and illustrious history that deserves to be kept separate.

OK - fair enough I've removed the merge tag - it would be worth updating the article with the info above to make the unit's notability clear Weggie 13:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
