The remaining installations and units consist of:
- Paderborn-Sennelager - Land Training Fleet (Sennelager) at Athlone Barracks which provides and maintains a pool of military vehicles for units in training at Sennelager. Thus units in training do not need to bring their own vehicles for the time of the exercise.[1]
- Herzog von Braunschweig-Kaserne in Minden - 23 Amphibious Engineer Squadron is stationed at garrison of German Bundeswehr 130th Armored Engineer Battalion (Panzerpionierbataillon 130) to operate the M3 Amphibious Rig. By 2023 it is planned to fully integrate the Squadron into a binational unit under NATO command structures. The Squadron is part of 75 Engineer Regiment.[2]
- Mönchengladbach - small Maintenance Detachment at Ayrshire Barracks South.[3]
- Dorsten Ammunition Depot - this installation of German Bundeswehr is used by British Army Germany for storage purposes.[4]
- Alpine Training Centre Hubertushaus in Oberstdorf - this installation is maintained by military and civil personnel.[5]
The commander of British Army Germany is Colonel Tim Hill.[6]
