| Citation: | New Year Honours. Major Roger Morgan Brumhill, TD. (480941), 116 Pro Coy (V), RMP. Territorial Army. June 1978 - May 1982.Citation: Major R M Brumhill has served in the Territorial Army since 28 December 1965. He gained his majority on 30 June 1978 and assumed command of 116 Provost Company Royal Military Police (V) on that date. This TA company is the largest independent unit in the Royal Military Police. The Headquarters is at West Bromwich and the eight platoons are widely dispersed, to Cardiff, Manchester and Coventry. This dispersal poses serious problems in administration and training. it is entirely due to Major Brumhill's dynamic drive, personality and magnificent leadership that this amorphous body of differing regional types has been welded into a most effective and efficient unit. This efficiency was dramatically illustrated when his unit deployed in support of 1st British Corps on Exercise Crusader 80. The ease with which it mobilized and carried out its subsequent tasks was ample proof of the high standards he obtains from all rank. Major Brumhill is the most professional Territorial army Officer serving in the Royal Military Police. He makes time to command his unit. Not only does he attend every training session, but spends at least one hour very day attending to company matters. At the time he assumed command he was embarking on a new career in Merchant Banking. It is a tribute to his quality that he has been successful in both both ventures. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the county of West Midlands on 13 October 1981. He constantly tries to improve his command. By successfully engineering the formation of a new detachment in Coventry in 1980 he opened up a new catchment area and raised his recruited strength from 65% in 1978 to 105% in 1981. An idea, floated by him in conversation with the Corps Commander, resulted in the relocation of his mobilization equipment to UK. His unit can now train more realistically with the equipment it will use when it goes to war and, most importantly, the time taken to get to its operational location has been but by two day. His contribution to the Army and, in particular, to his Corps is exceptional. his devotion to duty and the manner in which he commands his company is a shining example which few can emulate. His outstanding performance clearly deserves formal recognition.Recommended by: Lt/Col. APM West. Maj/Gen Western District. Gen. C in C UKLF. |
