5th Division
The 5th Division is responsible for the training, deployment and administration of Army units in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia. As a Regional Division, it is one of the Army's key formations, helping to deliver military capability to the Government and the British people.
Covering almost a third of Great Britain and with its HQ in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the 5th Division area contains nearly a third of the country's population.
As UK forces move into an age of expeditionary operations, where challenges appear unexpectedly in remote parts of the world, 5th Division units are called on ever more frequently to play their part.
The Division helped to equip, train and deploy units on active service in all current operational theatres, including Iraq, Afghanistan and the Falklands.
