Price Barracks

Price Barracks is a military installation located just north of Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport which is located in Ladyville some 8 miles to the north west of Belize City.

[1] A significant deployment to the barracks, then known as Airport Camp, was undertaken by the Queen's Regiment in Spring 1976.

[2] Following the independence of the country as Belize in September 1981 the camp was renamed Price Barracks after George Cadle Price, a former Prime Minister of the country, and it became the main base of the Belize Defence Force.

[3] In 1994, the UK Government established the British Army Training and Support Unit Belize (BATSUB) based within Price Barracks as its main international facility for jungle training.

However, in 2010, it announced the closure of the facility as part of its Strategic Defence and Security Review.
