The following is a list of units transferred to the Territorial Force on 1 April 1908, or raised in that year under the terms of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, and the associations by which they were administered.[1] The County Association of Rutland did not have charge of any units, but did provide facilities for sub-units of the Leicestershire Yeomanry and the 5th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment. A number of units, particularly those attached to the Royal Garrison Artillery and Royal Engineers, had their titles altered again in 1910.[2]
Yeomanry
Yeomanry regiments formed the cavalry arm of the TF, and were grouped into mounted brigades of three regiments each.

Royal Horse Artillery
Royal Horse Artillery units formed artillery support to the mounted brigades. Most of the batteries were newly raised in 1908.
†The HAC had its property and privileges protected by the Honourable Artillery Company Act 1908.
††On 18 March 1908, Wiltshire RHA was proposed to be raised as a new unit. However, poor recruiting led to a change in plans and the Hampshire RHA was raised in 1909 instead.[3]
Royal Field Artillery
Royal Field Artillery brigades formed parts of each territorial division, and were mobile and equipped with medium calibre ordnance.
