Dalton Barracks is a military installation near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, England and home to 4 Regiments of the Royal Logistic Corps. The site is set to close in 2030.

History

The barracks were established, on the site of the former RAF Abingdon airbase, in 1992: they were named after James Dalton VC, who earned his VC as an acting assistant commissary in the Commissariat and Transport Department at the Battle of Rorke's Drift. The barracks were initially occupied by 3 and 4 Close Support Regiments of the Royal Corps of Transport (now 3 and 4 Regiments of the Royal Logistic Corps).[1]

The primary occupier of the barracks is now 4 Regiment RLC, after 3 Regiment was disbanded as part of the Future Soldier reforms.[2]

Based units

The following units are based at Dalton Barracks.[3][4]

Future

In March 2013, the Ministry of Defence announced that 12 Logistic Support Regiment would be disbanded with the loss of 400 jobs on the site.[6] In November 2016, the MoD announced that the site would close completely in 2029,[7] this was later extended to 2030.[8]

In 2021, it was reported that the site was being used to film Masters of the Air, an upcoming television series from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.[9]
