The Royal Regiment of Artillery is an Arm of the British Army. The Regiment is made up of two distinct arms; the Royal Horse Artillery and the Royal Artillery. Somewhat confusingly both consist of a number of Regiments, which are comparable to Battalions in size. Each regiment is made up of a number of Batteries.

The following list includes the Battery name, its battle honour title and the year the Battery was formed. It also includes its equipment or role, and current location.

Regular Batteries in Suspended Animation (By order of Seniority)

Units in Suspended Animation are not disbanded and remain on the Royal Regiment of Artillery's Order of Battle and maintain their order of precedence alongside Active Regular units. Their property, histories etc. are stored and they may be brought out of Suspended Animation at a later stage, unlike disbanded units which cease to exist and cannot be reanimated. The precedence of Regular batteries is by date of formation and was authorised by The Master Gunner in his decree of 1 November 1986. Precedence is accorded to RHA Batteries (despite their younger age) by authority of Queens Regulations 1975 para 8.001. Royal Horse Artillery Royal Artillery
