British Forces Gibraltar is the British Armed Forces stationed in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. Gibraltar is used primarily as a training area, thanks to its good climate and rocky terrain, and as a stopover for aircraft and ships en route to and from deployments East of Suez or Africa.

The last UK based army battalion, 1 Royal Green Jackets, left Gibraltar in 1991 and the Royal Gibraltar Regiment took charge of local defence under the new headquarters British Forces Gibraltar.[1]

Permanent units

A handful of units are permanently based in Gibraltar for its territorial defence:

  • HQ, British Forces Gibraltar
  • Royal Gibraltar Regiment - the territory's permanently based light infantry battalion, consisting of both regular and reserve elements.
  • Joint Provost and Security Unit
  • Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron - two Scimitar class patrol boats, HMS Scimitar and HMS Sabre, and three Pacific 24 Rigid-hulled inflatable boats
  • RAF Gibraltar - Gibraltar's military airfield has no resident units, but is utilised as and when required by aircraft on deployment or exercise.
  • Gibraltar Defence Police - a civilian police force responsible for enforcing civil law on Ministry of Defence property in Gibraltar, and is responsible to Commander, British Forces Gibraltar. It also maintains two patrol boats and two 24 ft Rigid-hulled inflatable boats charged with protecting Gibraltar's maritime facilities. These are berthed alongside the Royal Navy's five vessels of the Gibraltar Squadron.
