Holsworthy Barracks is located in the outer south-western Sydney suburb of Holsworthy. It is part of the Holsworthy military reserve, which has been a training area and artillery range for the Australian Army since World War I. Following World War II it became a major base for the permanent component of the Australian Army in New South Wales. Following the movement of many units of the Regular Army to Darwin in the late 1990s many Army Reserve units were moved from other depots to Holsworthy Barracks, including the Headquarters of the 5th Brigade.

Holsworthy Barracks is the current home to 17 Signals Regiment, 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), 4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (4RAR), 171st Aviation Squadron and the 1st Health Support Battalion (1HSB).
