Certainly not quite not quite.

It is not DTE(Army) although it seems like that but DE (DTE). It is known as the purple veneer to change the shade of the old Army Training Estate (ATE) from green to less green.
Whereas RAF Aldergrove, RAF Benson and RAF Odiham have been owned by the Army since 1999.
