Following the reorganisation of the
Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve, a Light Air Defence Troop was formed at the (then) Territorial Army Centre, Widnes part of the also newly formed 213 (South Lancashire Artillery) Light Air Defence Battery. In 1986, following the formation of the
Home Service Force (a home defence roled infantry force), a new detachment formed at the barracks part of A (Home Service Force) Battery. At this time the centre was expanded to the modern barracks. As part of the
Options for Change reform announced after the
Dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Home Service Force Battery was disbanded, and the LAD troop based in Widnes reduced to the battery LAD, where it remained until 2001. On 19 April 2018, a 'suspicious package' was notified to the
Cheshire Constabulary, but this was later found to just be a false alarm. Ubique Barracks forms part of Cheshire Garrison, a regional garrison overseeing all units based within the county of
Cheshire. == Current garrison ==
