Following the 1966 Defence White Paper, Britain's former Territorial Army (TA) was converted into the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) from 1 April 1967. This abolished the former regimental and divisional structure of the TA and divided units into four categories: TAVR I: Units available for all purposes TAVR II: Units with a NATO role, specifically support for the British Army of the Rhine TAVR III: Home defence units TAVR IV: Bands and the university-based Officers' Training Corps TAVR I and II units were known as 'Volunteers', and those in TAVR III as 'Territorials'.
