Commander Home Command


The Commander Home Command, previously Commander Personnel and Support Command, is one of the most senior officers in the British Army. The post replaced that of Adjutant-General to the Forces.

In 2015 the post Adjutant General was eliminated and was re-designated Commander Personnel and Support Command. In April 2016, Personnel and Support Command was renamed as Home Command.

Headquarters Home Command is located at Montgomery House in Aldershot and provides the Army’s personnel and institutional support. It assumed responsibility for the delivery elements of the Adjutant General’s portfolio: recruiting; individual training (officers and soldiers); career management and postings. The Command therefore includes the Military Secretary’s Organisation and the Army Personnel Centre, the Army Recruiting and Training Division and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Home Command also includes Regional Command to provide the Army’s institutional support, including: civil engagement, cadets, Firm Base and Garrisons, Recovery Capability, welfare, and veterans, including the Regular Reserve. In summary, it "provides personnel and institutional support to the Army."

Commander Home Command is also the Standing Joint Commander responsible for the planning and execution of civil contingency operations within the UK landmass and territorial waters during any military aid to UK civil authorities.
