By WE 1/1931/2C wef 1 May 1940 the tank equipment of armoured brigades and regiments was altered to a single type - the cruiser tank. Armoured brigades became homogenous dropping the prefixes 'heavy' and 'light'. The fighting, reconnaissance and administration groups of an HQ Armoured Brigade were organized into an HQ Squadron. Armoured regiments changed their titles in conformity, and the single tank equipment enabled the organization of a regiment to be simplified. The number of troops in a squadron was reduced from five to four.
