- 254 (City of Cambridge) General Support Medical Regiment
254 (City of Cambridge) General Support Medical Regiment, Royal Army Medical Corps, is a regiment in the Territorial Army in the United Kingdom.
History
The regiment was formed in 1983 and was named 254 Field Ambulance. It was first based at the Territorial Army Centre in Coldhams Lane, Cambridge.
The regiment was later moved to a new site, formally a transport company depot, on Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, where a new TA Centre was built to accommodate them.
In the early 1990s detachments were opened in Thetford and Letchworth. These detachment in Thetford was disbanded a short while later. In 1995, following the amalgamation of 257 General Hospital into 256 Field Hospital, a detachment was opened in Norwich. Soon after this the regiment was adopted by Cambridge, and became 254 (City of Cambridge) Field Ambulance.
In 1999 a new detachment was opened in Hitchin, Hertfordshire to recruit from the North Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire areas.
In 2007 the regiment was reorganised into 254 (City of Cambridge) General Support Medical Regiment. As part of the reorganisation the detachments at Cambridge, Hitchin and Norwich were increased to Squadrons, with HQ Squadron at Cambridge, A Squadron at Norwich and Evacuation Squadron at Hitchin.
