The upgraded Army Reserve Centre on Artillery Road was formally unveiled at a special event attended by distinguished guests, including the Lord Lieutenant of Co Londonderry, Mrs Alison Miller, and Commander 38 (Irish) Brigade, Brigadier Piers L Ashfield DSO MBE.
They were joined by the Deputy Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Alderman Richard Stewart; Deputy Lieutenant Jayne Taggart, and the Commanding Officer of 152 (North Irish) Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps, Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Monument.
The event also brought together representatives from local military units, including 211 Tanker Squadron, The Royal Logistic Corps, 206 (Ulster) Battery Detachment 105 Regiment Royal Artillery, and Coleraine Troop of the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry, highlighting the strong military presence and proud tradition of service in the area.

The Army Reserve continues to offer local people the opportunity to develop new skills, gain qualifications, and be part of something bigger, all while balancing civilian life and career.
