In brief
Volunteer and contract formations raised under Ministry of Defence structures — the BARS combat-reserve detachments and the formations recruited through the Redut shell. A browsing group, not a single command: each member's documented parent is stated on its record, and both members are category records because the ministry publishes no list of the units.
