Draw down started back in the 80's then they let it lie for awhile & started up again in 2008, with 4 Mechanized Brigade going back to Catterick. Last Summer the ARRC (JHQ) started shutting up shop with the idea being that British Troops would be out of Germany completely by 2018-20 & now it's set to be 2015.

And yes there is the agreement that when it's all handed back it has to be all nice, shiny & modern, which will definitely cost a pretty penny or two.
