History
The site was used as an American military hospital during the Second World War and became the home of Royal School of Military Survey in 1949.[1] The barracks were named after General Sir William Denison, a prominent Royal Engineer. In order to consolidate all survey activities in one location, the rest of the Military Survey organisation moved to the site in the 1960s.[1] 42 Engineer Regiment (Geographic) were formed at the barracks in 1987.[2]
In March 2013 the Ministry of Defence announced a £10 million investment to allow the Military Stabilisation Support Unit, the Defence Cultural Specialist Unit, Land Intelligence Fusion Centre and 15 Psychological Operations Group to move onto the site.[3] In July 2014 42 Engineer Regiment (Geographic) left the barracks and moved to RAF Wyton.[4] 77th Brigade moved to the site and became fully operational in April 2015.[5][6]
