Army: Germany
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence with reference to the strategic defence and security review, on what timescale troops will be withdrawn from Germany.
[116941]
- Answer
-
As part of the strategic defence and security review we announced our intention to return personnel based in Germany back to the UK by 2020.
Following the announcement of Army 2020, the Army will now begin to work with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation to determine the optimum basing solution for the Army while making best use of the existing Defence estate. It is too early at this stage to give any more detail on the precise time scales for the withdrawal of troops from Germany.
