During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), British troop levels in Malaya fluctuated, peaking at around 40,000 personnel by the mid-1950s. The British military presence included regular army units, as well as local support from the Malayan Police. The deployment aimed to combat communist insurgents and restore order in the region. Troop levels gradually decreased as the situation improved and independence was approached.
