Army Training Centre

The Army Training Centre at Pirbright in Surrey provides Phase 1 military training for elements of the British Army.

In 1875, the War Office acquired 3,070 acres of Pirbright's heath which is the southern end of the north-south range of sand hills in Surrey heath, known as Chobham Ridges. It established rifle ranges, a training depot and an 'encampment' for the Brigade of Guards here. Many of the current buildings date from the 1950s, with significant expansion in the 1970s. There are separate barracks in the complex: Alexander Barracks is the home of the Army Training Regiment, Pirbright; Elizabeth Barracks was the base of 1st Battalion the Welsh Guards; whilst Household Division and Parachute Regiment Centralised Courses are based at Brunswick Lines.
