86.
The number of military barracks occupied is as follows:—
|
(a) Full-time basis : |
26 |
|
(b) Part-time basis: |
8 |
A number of minor posts and summer camps are not included in these figures.
All barracks are required for military purposes, including FCA training, and as mobilisation centres, should the need for such arise.
The use of barracks on a full-time basis would be inherent in mobilisation plans.
