around the world. This respect has been hard-won over recent years in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, the Gulf, Bosnia, Kosovo  and countless peacekeeping operations throughout the world. But such professionalism does not just happen by chance. It is attained by constant, thorough and tough training, in realistic conditions. The Army Training Estate (ATE) provides the principal facilities to achieve this. ��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Organisation��</h3>�� ��<p��>��The Army Training Estate in the UK is controlled by Headquarters ATE, based at Headquarters Land Command in Warminster, Wiltshire (see address at end of this leaflet). The Estate is sub-divided into 12 regionally-based areas, each with its own Headquarters and staff. ATE Pembrokeshire (ATE P) consists of Castlemartin training area and ranges, Manorbier training facility, Penally training camp, and the training area at Templeton. Together, these four sites cover about 6,630 acres (2,685 hectares). ��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Training in Pembrokeshire��</h3>�� ��<p��>��ATE P was formed in 1999, and hosts units from many other parts of the UK, who come to take advantage of the particular facilities we can offer them. At Castlemartin, we provide one of the UK s major live-fire training and manoeuvre facilities for armoured fighting vehicles, and at Manorbier we have the Army s principal training assets on close air-defence systems. Penally Training Camp provides accommodation and range facilities both to complement Manorbier, and in its own right, and also controls the dry training area at Templeton disused airfield. Each of these facilities is described below.��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Castlemartin Training Areas and Ranges��</h3>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="108"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_01.jpg"�� ��width="200"�� ��align="right"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��<img�� ��height="225"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_06.jpg"�� ��width="114"�� ��align="left"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��The War Office requisitioned the area in 1938 from the Cawdor Estate, and many ruins of the former settlements that belonged to the 53 farming communities, which had to be relocated, can still be seen. The land was returned to farming after the Second World War, but in 1951 the Korean War saw its reactivation for range use, which has remained in being ever since. Nevertheless, farming has also continued alongside the range s primary use, with flocks of sheep and, in the winter, cattle as well. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��Castlemartin is the largest single part of ATE P, covering about 5,900 acres (2,390 hectares) of freehold land on the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The range is open to all regular and territorial Army, Cadet forces, other services and some overseas forces. But in particular Castlemartin is the only UK Army range normally available for armoured units for direct-fire live gunnery exercises and associated manoeuvres, with both on-land impact areas and a large offshore safety area. The facility is therefore mainly used for so-called  mounted and  dismounted (i.e. in-vehicle and on foot) field firing up to company level; but when such exercises are not under way it is also used for dismounted  dry training (i.e. without live firing) across most of the area. It is also used by civilian organisations and research establishments. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��During non-firing periods the public have access to a section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path  from Trevallen, via Stack Rocks, to the lower Warren Road. ��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Manorbier Range��</h3>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="121"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_02.jpg"�� ��width="185"�� ��align="right"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��RAR (Royal Artillery Range) Manorbier was established in 1972 following the amalgamation of the field and anti aircraft Schools of Artillery at Larkhill. Activity has increased considerably since the Range was formed and Manorbier is now the main UK Close Air Defence (CAD) range for the British Army. RAR Manorbier is used to fire various CAD missiles, area ��defence machine gun systems up to 35mm calibre, and provides firing and training facilities for all CAD units of the Field Army and Commando Forces. The Range is also used by the Defence Air Warfare Centre. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="107"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_03.jpg"�� ��width="200"�� ��align="left"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��Set on its 102-acre (41-hectare) cliff-top site, there is a large danger area around Manorbier  approximately 220 square miles (570 square kilometres), out to a maximum of 13 miles (21 kilometres) at sea, and up to 50,000 feet overhead. The sea danger area is protected by byelaws, and surveillance of the danger areas is achieved using both radar and visual observation. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��&nbsp;��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Penally Training Camp��</h3>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="111"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_04.jpg"�� ��width="220"�� ��align="right"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��Penally Training Camp (PTC) is located adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and near Tenby to the east and the town of Pembroke to the west. The camp, and associated firing range, was established in 1860 to cater for an identified need for musketry training following the Crimean War. Extensive use of the accommodation and training facilities was also made during the First and Second World Wars, providing facilities for many British and Allied troops. Some of the original buildings are still in use. PTC s classrooms and training facilities complement activities at both Manorbier and Templeton, and it administers the latter. But the camp is also used as a centre for many types of training, including adventurous training, and is the principal accommodation for units using RAR Manorbier.��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Templeton��</h3>�� ��<p��>��Templeton Dry Training Area is a disused airfield, and used for a variety of training tasks, including helicopter and air defence exercises, low-level infantry tactics, and driver training. ��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Adventurous Training��</h3>�� ��<p��>��Adventurous training is used for instilling the physical, mental self-reliance and leadership qualities vital in today s armed forces. Members of the public may from time to time see adventurous training activities such as rock-climbing taking place at Castlemartin or on the coast near Penally. This will be taking place under fully-qualified instructors, and in liaison with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and subject to seasonal conservation restrictions. ��</p>�� ��<p�� ��class="top"��>��<a�� ��class="top"�� ��href="#top"��>��Back to Top��</a>��</p>��</td>��</tr>��</tbody>��</table>��<br��>��<br��>�� ��<table�� ��cellspacing="0"�� ��cellpadding="20"�� ��width="100%"�� ��border="0"��>�� ��<tbody��>�� ��<tr��>�� ��<td�� ��bgcolor="#efefef"��>�� ��<h2��>��Conservation��</h2>�� ��<h3��>��A Unique Heritage��</h3>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="107"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_07.jpg"�� ��width="120"�� ��align="right"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��The use of Castlemartin, in particular, as a training area has preserved a spectacular coastal landscape, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is also home to a range of flora and fauna already lost in other parts of Great Britain. These factors, along with its guardianship of significant archaeological and geological interest, including fossil records of international significance, mean that the ATE and its sister organisation, Defence Estates, manages this special heritage to preserve it for future generations. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��There are many rare or uncommon species of birds, insects and plants; and Castlemartin has the highest concentration of seabirds on the Pembrokeshire mainland, including guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes. It also accommodates the chough, now extinct in England. These shy birds do not settle in areas to which people have regular access, and Castlemartin supports about a dozen pairs. The grazing regime on the coastal heath and unimproved grassland encourages many birds such as wheatears, skylarks, meadow pipits, stonechats, and various species of warblers. There is a breeding population of barn owls, and other predators such as ravens, buzzards, peregrines and kestrels occur frequently.��</p>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="129"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_08.jpg"�� ��width="225"�� ��align="right"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��Some of the pre-war farm buildings still survive, others are now in ruins. Some are used for military training, and Flimston Chapel, maintained in good condition, may be visited, and regular services are held there. The ancient St Govan s Chapel, a tiny, much-visited building on the foreshore near St Govan s Head on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, is leased to the National Park. ��</p>�� ��<h3��>��Environment and Conservation��</h3>�� ��<p��>��Along with the rest of the Training Estate, ATE P strives continually to accommodate the interests of both the military and other stakeholders in the guardianship of our open spaces, and has made excellent progress in maintaining the development of sophisticated planning and management systems to ensure that training on our Estate is appropriate in terms of the area, nature of ground, and seasonal factors  for example, by taking into account farming practices and conservation considerations such as the breeding seasons of rare species. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��<img�� ��height="129"�� ��alt="ATE Pembrokeshire"�� ��hspace="10"�� ��src="/web/20080327100308im_/http://www.army.mod.uk/img/pil_pembrokeshire_img_09.jpg"�� ��width="200"�� ��align="left"�� ��vspace="3"�� ��border="0"��>��There are nearly 200 military conservation groups within the UK. The Army takes its role in conservation seriously and recognises the unique value of its Training Areas. Conservation interests are safeguarded in ATE P by management agreements with statutory bodies such as the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Department and the Countryside Council for Wales, as well as through help and advice from organisations such as the Castlemartin Range Recording and Advisory Group, and representatives from Manorbier and Penally. ��</p>�� ��<p��>��Conservation groups are always open to new members.
