Composition
The remaining installations consist of:
- Sennelager Training Area - 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 (former 23 and 412 Amphibious Engineer Troop) (Regular)[2] 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.[3]
- Mönchengladbach - small Maintenance Detachment at Ayrshire Barracks South.[4]
- Dorsten Ammunition Depot - this installation of German Bundeswehr is used by British Army Germany for storage purposes.[5]
