With the new brigade structure introduced in the summer of 2003 the 3 Divisions were re-organised into 2 Commands North and South, Lochboisdale was put into South Command. Call signs remained the same.

On 1st April 2005 along with 61 other units Lochboisdale was upgraded to a Retained Unit, drilling one night per week and receiving a retaining fee.
