RM Condor is a large Royal Marines base located near Arbroath in East Angus, Scotland. The base also houses 7 (Sphinx) Battery Royal Artillery, part of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery.

Key Information

History

[edit]

The base was first constructed as a naval air station for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm in 1938, when it was known as Royal Naval Air Station Arbroath (RNAS Arbroath; or HMS Condor). It was opened on 19 June 1940. From the outset it was a training base, primarily involved in the training of naval aviators. A purpose-built 'aircraft carrier' sized landing area was constructed on the airfield and it, along with another similar facility at nearby East Haven, Angus, HMS Peewit was used to train aircrew in deck landing operations. In October, 1940, the base was attacked by Luftwaffe Heinkel He 111 bombers, operating from Norway, which resulted in minor damage (then valued at £6,000) being sustained to some Squadron buildings. Throughout the war years the base was additionally used as a rest area. Operational Squadrons from Royal Navy fleet and escort aircraft carriers would take it in turn to spend rest periods whilst their ships were undergoing maintenance at Scottish Naval ship repair facilities.[3]

Flying stopped in 1954 and the base became the home of the Royal Navy Aircraft Engineering Training School which had transferred from HMS Daedalus at Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. It continued in this role until 1 April 1971 when the base became the home to 45 Commando Royal Marines, a part of 3 Commando Brigade.[4]

The base was thereafter known as RM Condor or Condor Barracks and remains an operational base to this day.[5]

A Better Defence Estate, published in November 2016, indicated that the Ministry of Defence would dispose of the airfield section of RM Condor by 2024.[6] In 2019, this decision was dropped, and the site will remain in use.[7]

    RM Condor is a principal Royal Marines base situated approximately 2 miles northwest of Arbroath in Angus, Scotland. It functions as the operational headquarters for 45 Commando Royal Marines, a light protected mobility commando unit specialized in amphibious assaults, rapid deployment, and multifaceted missions encompassing direct action raids, urban operations, and humanitarian assistance. The base also accommodates elements of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, including 7 (Sphinx) Battery, providing fire support integration for commando forces.     Originally commissioned in 1938 as HMS Condor, a shore establishment for training during the Second World War, the site featured an airfield that supported intensive pilot and observer instruction amid wartime demands. Following postwar transitions, the facility was repurposed for occupation in 1971 upon 45 Commando's relocation from Plymouth, marking the commencement of its enduring role in sustaining Scotland's capabilities. Over subsequent decades, units from RM Condor have participated in pivotal operations, including the 1982 , Northern Ireland deployments, and interventions in , underscoring the base's strategic significance in British defense posture.

    History

    Origins as Naval Air Station

    RNAS Arbroath, later designated HMS Condor, was established in 1938 as a facility approximately two miles northwest of in , amid the Royal Navy's pre-World War II expansion of aviation capabilities. Construction of the airfield and associated infrastructure began that year to support training operations for naval aircraft, reflecting the Admiralty's anticipation of aerial demands. The site was one of several new air stations developed in the late , including those at , Yeovilton, and St Merryn, to bolster the 's readiness. The station was formally commissioned as HMS Condor on 19 June 1940, shortly after the outbreak of war, marking its operational activation as a Royal Naval Air Station. From inception, it functioned primarily as a training establishment for naval aviators, emphasizing deck-landing simulations and torpedo attack proficiency using purpose-built facilities such as a torpedo attack trainer. The airfield layout included four main runways to accommodate intensive flight operations, enabling it to serve as a parent unit for satellite stations like RNAS Dundee and RNAS Eastchurch. This foundational role positioned HMS Condor as a key node in the Fleet Air Arm's training network, preparing pilots for carrier-based operations.

    World War II and Post-War Era

    HMS Condor, commissioned as a Royal Naval Air Station on 19 June 1940, functioned primarily as a training facility for the Fleet Air Arm during World War II. It specialized in observer training through No. 2 Observers School, deck landing training, and naval air signals instruction, while serving as the parent station for RNAS Dundee and RNAS East Haven. The base supported visiting squadrons for operational basing and hosted extensive flight activities across its four main runways, contributing to the preparation of naval aviators amid the demands of the European and Pacific theaters. As one of the busiest airfields in Britain, HMS Condor played a vital role in sustaining the Royal Navy's carrier-based aviation capabilities, with its infrastructure enabling continuous training despite wartime constraints on resources and personnel. The station's focus remained on skill development rather than direct operations, aligning with the 's emphasis on readiness for amphibious and fleet support roles. In the immediate post-war period, HMS Condor transitioned to peacetime operations, hosting public demonstrations such as Naval Air Day on 19 September 1945, which allowed residents to observe aircraft and interact with station personnel. The base continued as a hub for training, adapting to reduced wartime scales while maintaining its aviation infrastructure, though some satellite facilities faced early demolitions. Throughout the and , it supported ongoing activities, reflecting the Royal Navy's post-war reorganization and commitments.

    Transition to Royal Marines Base

    In the late 1960s, as the Royal Navy's reduced its operational requirements at following the post-World War II contraction of training, the site—known as HMS Condor—was identified for repurposing. The Technical Engineering School, one of the last remaining naval units, relocated to RNAS Lee-on-Solent on 31 1971, facilitating the handover of the airfield and associated facilities to the . This transition aligned with broader efficiencies, converting surplus air station infrastructure into a commando base while retaining the runway for limited aviation support, such as helicopter operations. The base was redesignated RM Condor in 1971, becoming the permanent home for 45 Commando Royal Marines, which relocated from Stonehouse Barracks in Plymouth. This move followed the unit's return from extended overseas deployments, including 24 years of continuous operational service abroad ending in 1967, and supported its new role in NATO's northern flank exercises, such as winter training in Norway. The transition preserved key aviation-era structures like hangars for storage and training halls, adapting them for amphibious warfare preparation, while barracks expansions accommodated approximately 900 military and civilian personnel. No major disruptions to local operations occurred, as the Royal Marines integrated with existing support services; the site's strategic location in Angus provided proximity to training areas in the and North Sea coast, enhancing its utility for commando forces over previous bases.

    Facilities and Infrastructure

    Key Buildings and Built Heritage

    The built heritage of RM Condor derives from its establishment as Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS ), commissioned as HMS Condor in 1940 during . Originally constructed as one of four emergency airfields for the , the site's infrastructure includes and brick structures designed for wartime aviation operations. These early buildings, spanning approximately 48 hectares within the overall 201-hectare site, were repurposed after 1971 when the facility transitioned to a base. A prominent surviving element is the former control tower, built circa 1940 as a 3-storey, 5-bay rectangular-plan flat-roofed structure with a rendered shell over a frame. Elevated on to provide oversight of the airfield, it features large observation windows and utilitarian design typical of wartime military architecture. Designated as a Category C by in 2006, the tower holds special architectural and historical interest for its association with RNAS operations, including training of squadrons. While many original hangars and ancillary structures have been modified or replaced over decades of use, the control tower exemplifies the site's enduring WWII legacy, reflecting the shift from to training facilities without significant alteration to its core form. No other buildings at RM Condor are currently designated as listed, underscoring the control tower's unique status amid ongoing base modernization.

    Modern Upgrades and Recent Developments

    In August 2022, the outlined plans for a £50 million investment in RM Condor to modernise personnel accommodation and supporting infrastructure, with construction anticipated to commence in 2025 and span approximately two years. This initiative addressed longstanding deficiencies in living conditions at the base, aiming to provide enhanced single living accommodation for and support staff. Progress advanced in August 2025 when the awarded contracts under its programmatic approach to military housing upgrades, designating RM Condor for 348 new bedspaces as part of a broader effort to deliver nearly 1,800 across multiple sites. The selected framework contractors will handle design, construction, and maintenance, prioritising energy-efficient and welfare-focused standards to sustain operational readiness for units like . In October 2025, the Royal Navy submitted a planning application to Angus Council for a new 100-metre indoor range at the base, intended to bolster weapons training facilities amid evolving commando requirements. The proposed structure would enable year-round, weather-independent marksmanship practice, supporting the integration of modern equipment such as the new MCX rifles adopted by units.

    Based Units and Personnel

These elements integrate with the commando brigade structure to enhance amphibious and expeditionary capabilities, drawing on personnel trained to standards where applicable. A primary auxiliary component is 7 (Sphinx) Battery, part of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, which specializes in close air defense and operations to support rapid deployment forces. Formed in and commando-qualified, the battery has historically provided artillery cover in conflicts including the , where it neutralized Argentine gun positions. As of recent deployments, it remains based at RM Condor, contributing to training exercises and operational readiness for 3 Commando Brigade. Communications support is handled by 2 (City of ) Signal Squadron from 32 Signal Regiment, , ensuring secure networks, information systems, and tactical signaling for joint maneuvers. This squadron, with roots in territorial army units redesignated in the , facilitates coordination across land, sea, and air domains during amphibious assaults and sustainment phases. Security and investigative functions fall under the detachment of , , which conducts policing, evidence gathering, and cyber-enabled information operations tailored to commando environments. Previously supported by Troops until their integration into broader structures around , this element maintains discipline, protects assets, and aids in post-operation analysis at the base. Auxiliary base functions include logistical and support inherited from earlier transitions, such as the 1971 formation of a dedicated troop from for clearance and recovery tasks in urban and demolitions-heavy scenarios. Additionally, approximately 30 civilian personnel assist with administrative, maintenance, and sustainment roles, bolstering the base's self-sufficiency for around 650 commandos. These elements collectively ensure RM Condor's role as a forward-operating hub, with periodic reviews influencing their composition amid broader defense restructuring.

    Training and Operational Role

    Amphibious and Commando Training

    RM Condor facilitates specialized amphibious training for Royal Marines, capitalizing on its proximity to the coastline for ship-to-shore maneuvers, beach assault simulations, and drills essential to the unit's role in 3 Commando Brigade. The site's terrain and access to Arbroath's beaches enable realistic exercises in amphibious raids and rapid insertion tactics, often integrated with vessels for joint operations that replicate expeditionary scenarios. For instance, Zulu Company of has conducted beach landings as part of cold weather training to hone skills in adverse conditions. Commando training at the base emphasizes maintaining elite proficiency post-initial qualification at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone, focusing on unit-specific enhancements like and preparation for global deployments. Programs include intensive drills in weapon manipulation, room entry procedures, and deconfliction tactics, ensuring in close-quarters and urban environments. Night-time live-fire exercises, such as those scheduled from 5 to 7 November 2024, demonstrate firepower integration under low-visibility conditions to sustain operational edge. The base's comprehensive infrastructure supports these activities by providing dedicated ranges, simulation areas, and logistical backing, enabling to generate forces for domestic defense and overseas contingencies with a focus on amphibious agility and versatility. This training regimen underpins the unit's capacity for rapid reaction, as evidenced by participation in multinational amphibious exercises like those , where Arbroath-based personnel practiced extended tactics.

    Deployments and Combat History

Following the unit's relocation from Plymouth to , it conducted initial winter training exercises in starting in 1971 to hone mountain and cold-weather capabilities, a practice that continued annually to prepare for commitments in the northern flank. These non-combat deployments built resilience but transitioned into operational theaters amid escalating global tensions. In the 1980s, rotated through multiple tours in under , conducting patrols and counter-terrorism operations against Irish republican paramilitaries in volatile areas like and South Armagh. The unit's involvement peaked during the in 1982, where it participated in Operation Corporate, landing at San Carlos and advancing inland to engage Argentine forces, contributing to the recapture of the islands by June 16. Combat roles included assaults on key positions such as Two Sisters and Mount Harriet, with the unit suffering casualties but securing objectives through close-quarters fighting and artillery support. Post-Cold War operations expanded to humanitarian and stabilization missions. In 1991, during Operation Haven, deployed to northern to establish safe havens for fleeing Saddam Hussein's forces, constructing camps and providing security amid harsh mountainous terrain near the Turkish border. Subsequent engagements included in Bosnia and in the late 1990s, in 2000 for Operation Palliser to evacuate British nationals and stabilize against rebel advances, and further Northern Ireland tours, such as a six-month deployment in 2004. The early 21st century saw intense combat in . In 2002, deployed to for Operation Jacana, targeting and remnants in the mountains of eastern to disrupt terrorist safe havens. Multiple tours followed under , including heavy fighting in from 2006–2007, where elements cleared strongholds in Garmsir and suffered losses, such as the death of Matthew Ford in a deliberate offensive south of Garmsir on January 15, 2007.

The complainant reported the incidents occurred during his time at the base near , highlighting concerns over internal discipline enforcement within the unit. Multiple cases of unauthorized initiation rituals have been documented among personnel at RM Condor, often involving humiliation and health risks. In 2015, two marines faced charges for compelling a recruit to eat dog food, strip naked, and undergo simulated waterboarding as part of such rituals in Arbroath. Similarly, in 2016, three marines were sentenced to detention for a ceremony where recruits drank from a container mixed with urine and vomit, described in court as "depraved." By 2017, seven marines based at RM Condor were charged with public lewd acts during a nightclub "initiation" in Arbroath, including drinking urine and simulated sexual acts, leading to dismissals for some involved after conviction or guilty pleas. Alcohol-related discipline breaches have also surfaced, including threats of pub bans in for rowdy off-base behavior in 2010, with the pledging personal intervention. In 2019, reports emerged of intoxicated marines at RM Condor firing military-grade flares through base windows, causing damage and fire risks, though formal outcomes were not publicly detailed. On welfare, a 2015 employment tribunal revealed that serving out-of-date food to personnel was described as "standard practice" by catering contractor at RM Condor, raising and nutritional concerns for .
