The Fencibles (from the word defencible) were British regiments raised in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and in the colonies for defence against the threat of invasion during the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812 in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Usually temporary units, composed of local recruits and commanded by Regular Army officers, they were usually confined to garrison and patrol duties, freeing Regular Army units to perform offensive operations. Most fencible regiments had no liability for overseas service.

  • Fencibles waren Infanterie- und Kavalleriemilizregimenter der British Army. Sie entstanden im 18. Jahrhundert und wurden im Fall von Kriegen und Notfällen ins Leben gerufen. Ihr Einsatz blieb in der Regel auf Garnisons- und Patrouillenaufgaben beschränkt, wodurch die regulären Armeeeinheiten für offensive Operationen frei wurden. Ihre Offiziersstellen wurden an verdiente Offiziere auf Halbsold vergeben. Aufgestellt wurden sie von den Lord-Lieutenants der Counties. Im Gegensatz zur Yeomanry durften sie auch außerhalb der Countys eingesetzt werden. (de)
