Headquarters
Allied Rapid Reaction Corps
Unified, Integrated, Ready
As a High Readiness (Land) Force, HQ ARRC is ready to deploy under NATO, EU, coalition or a national force to undertake Combined and Joint operations across the operational spectrum.
Our Role
Under its leading NATO role within UK Defence, ARRC operates as a 3-Star headquarters, in Gloucestershire, with more than 400 permanent staff from more than 20 nations contributing to NATO activity every day.
Its unique structure allows the ARRC to operate as a Corps Headquarters, a Land Force Component Command, a Joint Task Force Headquarters, or to augment ongoing operations with select staff capabilities.
It also assumes the role of the NATO Response Force (NRF) Land Component Command on a rotational basis, which demands personnel of high levels of fitness, training, education and readiness to deploy.
