Garrison | Falcon Squadron, Royal Tank Regiment |
In 1965, Warminster saw a large expansion, and the 1966 Defence White Paper expanded its role. The nearby Land Warfare Centre gained a 'Tank Demonstration Squadron', later 'Armoured', which was a detached armoured unit from its regiment. In 1975, the custom-built Harman Lines was opened on Sack Hill.[1]
As part of the 1998 Strategic Defence Review, a new Joint Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Regiment was formed based at RAF Honington and saw the 1st Royal Tank Regiment dispersed. As part of this change, A Squadron moved to Harman Lines[3] as part of the new unit under the Combined Arms Training Centre.[4] The site remained the home of the Armoured Demonstration Squadron until 2014, when it became the permanent home of, Falcon Squadron, RTR, part of the Defence CBRN Wing.[5][6][7]
