As of 1 November 2018, there were 1,127 troops assigned to the units based at the barracks.[7]
On completion of their Cyprus tour in 2023, the 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment (known as the Vikings) moved to the barracks to join the 2nd Battalion (known as the Poachers), which will remain at Kendrew Barracks. In the future, the Royal Anglian Regiment will no longer participate directly in Cyprus rotations, and therefore will be based at Kendrew Barracks for the foreseeable future.[8]
Future
Work to construct new facilities for the 1st Military Working Dog Regiment of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps is expected to be completed in December 2025. The regiment will relocate from St George's Barracks, North Luffenham, which is expected to close in 2026. Eleven new buildings are to be constructed, with four being refurbished or retrofitted, providing 173 kennels for permanent, isolation and quarantine requirements. The £61 million project also includes a veterinary centre and training facilities, squadron offices, stores, gym and the repurposing of hanger B as a regimental headquarters and quartermaster stores.[9]
