Sovereign Base Areas of Akrioti and Dhekelia

The two British enclaves in the Republic of Cyprus, act as platforms for the projection of British military assets in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. The enclaves serve as centres for regional communications monitoring from the eastern Mediterranean through the Middle East to Iran. Facilities within the retained areas also support British military activities on retained sites in the Republic of Cyprus and provide unique training opportunities.

Germany

In 2010 approximately 25,000 British Soldiers were permanently based in Western Germany, a legacy of WWII and the Cold War. Facilities in Germany are no longer strategically useful but incurred approximately £250 Million in additional operating expenses. As a result British Forces began withdrawing from Germany in 2010; as of 2015 21,500 troops remained in Germany. The deployment will have been phased out by 2020 although concentrations of installations and troops in the Paderborn / Bielefeld / Gütersloh area and at Mansergh Barracks will remain until late in the decade.
