Brecon barracks will not be sold and plans to close Cawdor barracks in Pembrokeshire have also been put on hold.
A UK Government announcement, including £320m investment, means the barracks in Brecon will not be sold and will continue to house the military headquarters for the majority of troops based in Wales. The closure of Cawdor Barracks in Pembrokeshire has been delayed until 2028.

Brecon had been earmarked for closure in 2016 by then defence minister Michael Fallon.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has today announced that The Queen’s Dragoon Guards, famously nicknamed, The Welsh Cavalry, who predominantly recruit from Wales will be moving to a revamped Caerwent Barracks from 2028.

It is part of a wider announcement about reconfiguring army services. It will mean an overall increase in the number of soldiers based in Wales, the Ministry of Defence said.
