Apart from a short period unemployed on half pay in 1926, Wavell continued to hold GSO1 appointments, latterly in the 3rd Infantry Division, until July 1930 when he was once again granted the rank of temporary brigadier and was given command of 6th Infantry Brigade.
Bortset fra en kort periode, hvor han var uden post og på halv løn i 1926, fortsatte Wavell med at have poster som GSO1, senest i 3. infanteridivision, indtil i juli 1930, hvor han igen blev tildelt rang af midlertidig brigadegeneral og fik kommandoen over 6. infanteribrigade.
