It also discusses the events in which its members have brought disgrace on the Regiment and concludes that given the controversy which surrounds it, the weight of public opinion against it and the aim for troops to be taken off the streets of Northern Ireland, the Ulster Defence Regiment should be disbanded and its duties taken over by an expanded Royal Ulster Constabulary.īy the same author The RUC: A Force Under Fire This book examines the history of the UDR, its role as a peace-keeping force in Northern Ireland and the unique courage of its members, who serve their community to fight terrorism despite the constant risks involved. Protestants, however, afraid that the British government might give in to IRA intimidation and abandon the Protestant community to an uncertain fate in a united Ireland, regard the UDR as their last line of defence. Catholic confidence in the Regiment has been further undermined by repeated instances of UDR soldiers taking the law into their own hands and becoming involved in crime and Loyalist terrorism. Although at the outset one in five members was drawn from the Catholic community, terrorisation and murder of Catholic members by the IRA and frustration at the Regiment's lack of impartiality have turned it into an overwhelmingly Protestant force. But the UDR is also the army's most controversial regiment. Almost two hundred of its members have been killed and many more have suffered serious injury or been forced to flee their homes. During this period the force of 6,200 soldiers and volunteers has faced a relentless campaign of intimidation and murder by the Provisional IRA. Raised in 1970 to replace the notorious auxiliary police force, the B Specials, it has been on continuous active service ever since.
