Role and Operations

Royal Logistic Corps

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 Force Troops Command. The regiment's role is movements support and postal & courier capabilities.[3] As of 1 November 2018, there was 481 personnel assigned to the regiment.[6]

The headquarters of the 104th Logistic Support Brigade is also based at the barracks.[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.[4]

Joint Air Mounting Centre

The Joint Air Mounting Centre (JAMC) comes under the command of the 104th Logistics Support Brigade and is managed by 29 Regiment, alongside Royal Air Force personnel. 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 some around 30 miles away in Oxfordshire.[7][8]
