British Forces Gibraltar is the name given to the British Armed Forces stationed in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Gibraltar is utilised primarily as a training area, thanks to its good climate and rocky terrain, and as a stopover for units and ships en route to and from deployments. A handful of units are permanently based in Gibraltar for its territorial defence.
