ALDERSHOT GARRISON HERALD

Garrison Headquarters
The Garrison Headquarters
continues to work on
Community Engagement
through a number of avenues.
Most recently we have had
schools visiting different
Regiments, including the Gurkha
Temple, in line with and to
facilitate local curriculums. A
Garrison Health Fair was held
at the Aldershot Garrison
Sports Centre for all Garrison
members, families and local
schools which proved a
resounding success and we
continue to hold regular canal
days. In conjunction with the
local community we have
improved the canal towpath
making the canal more
accessible for all.
77 Army Education Centre
As well as delivering mandatory
education, 77 Army Education
Centre is in the roll out of
delivering language training as
well as coming in line with the
new Army Instructor Capability
Initiative. The centre has been
working hard on the iGCSE
scheme with the Garrison
soldiers and 57 personnel will
be sitting their GCSE exams in
English, Maths and triple Science
for free this summer. Additionally
the Centre champions the
University Short Course
Programme, a residential 2-5
day course to study at university
level with leading academics.
They are available to all ranks,
again free of charge.
Headquarters, 101 Logistic
Brigade
After an extremely busy period
that has seen the Brigade
grow from 7 Units to 19 Units
and re-subordinate to 3rd
Division, the Headquarters
has managed 2 Adventurous
Training Expeditions. The first
was a 3 week trek to Nepal in
order to tackle the Annapurna
Circuit. The team reached
a peak altitude of 5415m
before high snows meant an
amendment to the route. The
second expedition saw skiers
excelling in 2 weeks at Val
Thorens. 14 novices successfully
achieved their Ski Foundation 1
qualification.
