The Infantry Battle School, Brecon is a British Army training establishment at Dering Lines in Brecon, Wales.

History

The Infantry Battle School was established at Brecon in 1939, at the start of the Second World War. The Parachute Regiment formed a battle camp there in 1961, which was absorbed by the Tactical Training Wing of the School of Infantry in 1976. The school was further redeveloped in 1995.
