Twenty years after the end of the Cold War, we still have much of the Army in Germany, due to the fact that is has been cheaper to base them there than in the UK. However, it now looks that surplus RAF Bases in Moray and Cottesmore/Wittering will end up as the new home for these troops by 2015.
Not sure how keen the Army would be about having another camp just up the road from Fort George. Moray is also a fair distance away from the Army's traditional training grounds. I am sure that they would prefer something closer to Catterick, Stanford, or Salisbury Plain.....
