Duke of Gloucester Barracks

[3][4][5] The Royal Logistic Corps' Silver Stars Army Parachute Display Team is also based here.

[6] The barracks are currently occupied by 29 Postal Courier & Movement Regiment, part of the 104th Logistic Support Brigade of the Royal Logistic Corps (RLC), and coming under the umbrella of Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, NATO's High Readiness Force (Land).

[5] The brigade directs the Army’s logistics enabling capabilities which include postal and courier services, movement control, port and maritime movements, operational hygiene, mortuary arrangements, catering, fuel storage & distribution and equipment & recovery support.

It handles processing, security and baggage checks for all British troops embarking overseas on exercise or operational deployment, before they are transported by road to RAF Brize Norton for departure from the UK.

This allows more efficient processing of personnel and freight and relieves pressure at Brize Norton, which is located around 30 miles away in Oxfordshire.
