Article name

I was wondering why this article is disambiguated to '10th Parachute Battalion (United Kingdom)', with '10th Parachute Battalion' redirecting to it. Wouldn't the redirect be the appropriate name? I could have just moved the article, but thought to ask through the talk page. Schwede 66 20:01, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No per MOS all military unit have the country disambiguation after them. For example there could be tens or hundreds of 10th Parachute Battalions. Exceptions are units with unique identifying names like the 50th (Northumbrian) Division or the 5th (Scottish) Parachute Battalion. Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:06, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, ignore this I misread the article.
