The Army Reserve Basic Training Review is currently ongoing and will comprehensively consider all relevant factors affecting reservists, including the delivery and location of training to ensure it meets the needs of the Reserve Force effectively.
At this stage it is not possible to provide precise projections regarding the proportion of Army Reserve basic training that Alexander Barracks, Pirbright, will deliver annually from 2028 to 2032.
