History

The hospital was formed upon the formation of the TAVR in 1967, from the amalgamation of 7th (Manchester) General Hospital, 125th (Lancashire) Field Ambulance, and 127th (Lancashire) Field Ambulance, as the 207 (Manchester) General Hospital.[3] Throughout the Cold War, the hospital was under command of 42nd (Northwest) Infantry Brigade; and on transfer to war, would re-subordinate to Commander Medical BAOR, to provide 800 beds in the 4th Garrison Area.[4] During the reforms implemented after the Cold War, the hospital was re-designated as 207 (Manchester) Field Hospital.[3] As a consequence of Army 2020, the unit now falls under 2nd Medical Brigade, and is paired with 22 Field Hospital.[5]
