Between the 2nd-12 June, the regiment began to reform at Royal Artillery Barracks, Larkhill.
On the 29th the regiment moved to Southbourne where they were assigned a coastal defence area which was by Sea Croft, Dalmeny Road.
This area covered the beach from there to Hengistbury Head.
At this point, the regiment was placed under command of CRA, Southern Command along with the 4th, 53rd (London), and 63rd (2nd Midland) Medium Regiments.

On 24 August 1942, the Royal Artillery went through organisational changes, one of the new changes was the formation of new 'Army Group Royal Artillery' units which were (roughly) brigade sized artillery commands which could be attached to Corps and Armies/Army Groups.
These new groups would command the corps/army medium and heavy artillery troops, thus bringing the corps/army units under a single command.

As part of this expansion, each home command was given a army group, one of these new commands was the 1st Army Group Royal Artillery (1st AGRA) formed in Hamilton Park, Glasgow and shortly thereafter assigned to Southern Command.
After the movement of this group to Southern England, the regiment was attached along with its fellow artillery regiments.

On 5/6 July the regiment moved to the Newbury Racecourse when the coastal defences area was taken over by the 4th Medium Rgt on the 6th.
Sometime before December 1942 the regiment moved to Tichborne, Hampshire and was re-equipped with the new BL 5.5-inch medium gun.
During their home defence stunt, the regiment participated in the patriotic 'Dig for victory scheme'.
This was evident by the regiment usually helping out on the farms near Tichborne Manor, just down the road from where they were stationed (see photo to the left).
