The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is preparing the barracks for the arrival of two army squadrons returning from Germany. The project will provide 90 new bedrooms at the barracks for junior ranks and senior non-commissioned officers.
The base will become home to 99 Postal Courier and Movement Control Squadron this summer and to 69 Postal Courier and Movement Control Squadron in 2019. The squadrons are relocating from Gutersloh and Bielefeld in Germany respectively.
Further development works will follow which include a new build gym, the refurbishment of existing sports facilities and the reconfiguration or refurbishment of offices and storage space.
Army units already based at Duke of Gloucester Barracks include 29 Regiment The Royal Logistic Corps and Headquarters 104 Logistic Support Brigade.
