List of British Army installations

This is a list of British Army installations in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and overseas. This list does not include Army Reserve centres or drill halls.

Background

Under the Army Basing Programme, announced in 2013, more than 100 army units relocated, disbanded, reconfigured or re-roled as part of the government's commitment to bring all units back from Germany by 2020. The programme focused on personnel being increasingly concentrated around Salisbury Plain, Cottesmore, Aldershot, Colchester, Stafford and Catterick, the largest British Army garrison in the world.
In February 2020, the British Army relinquished control of Catterick Barracks, Bielefeld, the last remaining headquarters for British Forces Germany, following 75 years in the country, marking the end of the Army Basing Programme and Operation Owl, and the return of 20,000 British troops.
The British Army retains a presence at a small number of installations primarily in the North Rhine-Westphalia area of Germany as part of what is now known as British Army Germany.
Overseas military bases enable the British Army to conduct expeditionary warfare, "maintain a persistent forward presence", "deter potential adversaries", and train in all environments.
The British Army provides the most significant long-term overseas presence to:

British Forces Cyprus in Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri & Dhekelia,
British Forces South Atlantic Islands in the Falkland Islands,
British Forces Gibraltar, including the Royal Gibraltar Regiment.
British Forces Brunei in Seria, Brunei.

The British Army has a network of permanent operating bases overseas, primarily in:

British Army Training Unit Kenya,
British Army Training Unit Suffield, in Canada,
British Army Training and Support Unit Belize
Omani-British Joint Training Area, in Oman, used as a Land Regional Hub.
British Army Germany and the Sennelager Training Area.

As part of the government's Better Defence Estate strategy, announced in November 2016, the Army plans to, over a period of 25 years, close down and dispose of numerous bases in the UK. This more efficient approach "co-locates people and capabilities in sustainable locations around centres of mass," and also releases land for up to 55,000 new homes.
