Headquarters 38 (Irish) Bde is situated in Thiepval Barracks, Lisburn and is responsible for providing the personnel support infrastructure, which we call the ‘Firm Base’, for all serving Regular and Reserve military personnel and their families living and working in Northern Ireland. Around 8000 members of the Army leave each year and 38 (Irish) Bde has an obligation to ensure that those soldiers and their families, who elect to resettle in Northern Ireland, make the Transition to civilian life as successfully as possible. The aim is to produce a settled veteran, who makes a positive contribution to local society and acts as an advocate for the Army.
