MILITARY ESTABLISHMENTS AND UNITS OF THE UK ARMED FORCES
The following information, compiled from the MOD Website, is provided in response to a Parliamentary Question from the Hon. Member for Houghton and Sunderland South (Ms Phillipson) on 30 April 2012 (Official Report, Column 1124W):
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the home base or headquarters is of each (a) Army regiment, (b) naval unit (excluding naval vessels) and (c) Royal Air Force group. [104372]
Both the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have been grouped under their formations. However, due to the way the Army is structured, it is not possible in the time allowed to reproduce something similar. We have therefore listed all Army Regiments and Units by Corps. Further detail on the role of these establishments and their locations can be found on: and respectively.
