History
The hospital was formed upon the formation of the TAVR in 1967, from the amalgamation of 147th Field Ambulance, and 22nd Field Dressing Station, as the 202 General Hospital. During the Cold War, the hospital was under the command of the 143rd (West Midlands) Infantry Brigade, however upon transfer to war, it would re-subordinate to Commander Medical 1 Corps, and provide 800 beds with support from the Warwickshire Volunteer Band. During the reforms implemented after the Cold War, the hospital was re-designated as 202 Field Hospital. As a consequence of Army 2020, the unit now falls under 2nd Medical Brigade, and is paired with 22 Field Hospital.Under the Future Soldier programme, the hospital was renamed as the 202nd Multi-Role Medical Regiment and now falls under the 2nd Medical Group.
