Robertson Barracks, Norfolk

Robertson Barracks is military installation near Swanton Morley in Norfolk.

History
The barracks, which are named after Field Marshal Sir William Robertson, were established when RAF Swanton Morley was handed over to the British Army in 1995. The barracks became home to the 9th/12th Royal Lancers in April 1998 and to the Light Dragoons in August 2000. The Army often uses the Mid-Norfolk Railway to carry equipment such as Scimitar light tanks belonging to army units based at the barracks to their training facilities in other parts of the United Kingdom.

In 2013 the British Government identified Robertson Barracks as one of seven "core bases" in which it would invest. The Light Dragoons left the barracks on 6 June 2015 and were replaced by the 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards who were returning from Germany.
