Army 2020 Rebasing Plan
5th March 2013
On the 5th March, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond announced the restructuring of British Army bases in the UK.The rebasing policy forms part of the Army 2020 strategy born out of the last Defence Review.
Principly, the rebasing review has been undertaken from two aspects;
1} Accomodate the returning British Army units from Germany.
2} Reduce the number of smaller barracks and focus on larger garrisons and centres of excellence to reduce defence estate costs and focus resources.
101 Engineer Regiment and 33 Engineer Regiment are not impacted by the review. Both will stay at Carver Barracks, Wimbish for the foreseeable future.
Other Barracks are effected including Ripon where the TA elements of the regiment have frequented on Annual Camp.
For those that are interested the full plan is available here.
