Marne Barracks

Marne Barracks is located at the site of the former RAF Catterick alongside the A1 on the outskirts of Catterick Village. Operationally it falls under the command of Catterick Garrison.

Currently the 5th Regiment, Royal Artillery and the 8th Regiment, Royal Logistics Corp are stationed at the barracks.

A number of establishments exist on the barracks, including a HUB bar, a Londis shop, a PRI shop, a hairdressers, and a new 'State Of The Art' gymnasium.^[1] However, with the much larger Catterick Garrison being within walking distance a lot of the facilities are located on the larger base.

The barracks have had upgraded accommodation installed as part of Project SLAM (Single Living Accommodation Modernisation). This has been undertaken by Corus^[2]

BAM Construction have also undertaken the conversion of some of the old RAF hangers to maintenance depots for the Land Rovers utilised by the two regiments. ^[3]
