Imjin Barracks

Imjin Barracks in Gloucestershire became the home of the Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) in 2010.

The Barracks were named after the Battle of Imjin because of the connection with the Gloucestershire Regiment which formed part of the United Nations contingent in the Korean War, and was thought to be an appropriate name, for ARRC which is the HQ of a multinational force.

The Innsworth site is managed by the Army and has been renamed Imjin Barracks. Whilst the old Command HQ and most other buildings are now empty and being looked after under a care and maintenance programme, the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency (formed by a merger of AFPAA and the Veterans Agency, in April 2007) including the MoD Medal Office and JCCC (Tri-Service Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre) continues to operate from the site and in 2010 the base became home to the NATO Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) which relocated to Innsworth from the Rheindahlen Military Complex in Germany.
