British Armed Forces in Gibraltar had been predominantly naval-led since the 1890s. In the 1950s discussions about the creation of NATO's Allied Forces Mediterranean led to the Flag Officer Gibraltar being placed in command of NATO forces in the area.{{cite web|url=http://archives.nato.int/uploads/r/null/1/1/115704/SG_152_3_FINAL_ENG_PDP.pdf|title=Memorandum from the Military Representatives Committee|publisher=NATO|access-date=9 January 2016}} and {{cite web|url=http://www.nato.int/nato_static/assets/pdf/pdf_archives/20121128_19561201_NU_Chronology_and_Organization_of_Allied_Command_Eu.pdf|title=Chronology and Organisation of Allied Command|publisher=NATO|access-date=9 January 2016}}

However, many years later, the British Royal Navy captain serving as Head of Sea Section in Operations Division, SHAPE, was to have to deal with the re-absorption of Spain into NATO in the early 1990s. Arranging the NATO-Spain-Gibraltar-UK linkages involved "delicate negotiations," but British plans, to Captain Peter Melson's knowledge "committed no forces to defence of the Strait, while Spain was willing to commit substantial elements of their ORBAT [order of battle, their armed forces]."{{cite journal|author=Peter Melson|title=NATO in Transition: Five Years in SHAPE 1989 to 1994|journal=The Naval Review |date=2014|page=161}}

The last UK based army battalion, 3rd Battalion Royal Green Jackets, left Gibraltar in 1991 and the Royal Gibraltar Regiment took charge of local defence under the new headquarters British Forces Gibraltar.{{cite web|url=http://www.army.mod.uk/operations-deployments/22730.aspx|title=The British Army in Gibraltar|publisher=Ministry of Defence|access-date=7 June 2015}}

The commander of British Forces Gibraltar is Commodore Tom Guy of the Royal Navy, who was appointed in June 2022.{{Cite web |date=29 June 2022 |title=New CBF for British Forces Gibraltar |url=https://www.chronicle.gi/new-cbf-for-british-forces-gibraltar/ |access-date=2024-06-23 |website=Gibraltar Chronicle |language=en}}

British Forces Gibraltar reports to the Director of Overseas Bases within Strategic Command, who is responsible for the command, direction and support of UK's overseas bases.{{Cite web |date=8 February 2023 |title=Directorate of Overseas Bases |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/permanent-joint-operating-bases-pjobs/fd |access-date=2024-06-23 |website=GOV.UK |publisher=Ministry of Defence |language=en}}

All MOD establishments in Gibraltar are operated by Strategic Command, with each of the separate armed forces using the facilities.

The Royal Gibraltar Regiment of the British Army is based at Devil's Tower Camp.{{Cite web |title=The British Army in Gibraltar |url=https://www.army.mod.uk/deployments/gibraltar/ |access-date=23 June 2024 |website=British Army}} The regiment is a mixed infantry-focused unit, with 235 personnel as of 2023.

HM Dockyard, Gibraltar was active from 1895 to 1984. The dockyard was used extensively by the Royal Navy, docking many of the Navy's most prestigious ships. In the early 1980s a decision by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence to cut back the Royal Navy surface fleet meant that the dockyard was no longer financially viable.{{cite magazine |editor1-last=Horseman |editor1-first=Martin |title=RN Dockyard in Gibraltar to close |magazine=Armed Forces |date=March 1982 |page=44 |publisher=Ian Allan |location=Shepperton |issn=0142-4696}}

In 1984 the dockyard passed into the hands of the UK ship repair and conversion company, A&P Group.{{cite web|url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1983/jul/27/gibraltar-dockyard|title=Gibraltar Dockyard|date= 27 July 1983|publisher=Hansard|access-date=23 June 2024}} The takeover of the former naval dockyard at Gibraltar as "Gibrepair" in 1985 was short-lived, a victim of local social politics.{{cite book|last=Archer|first=E G|title=Gibraltar Identity and Empire|year=2006|publisher=Routledge|location=Abingdon|isbn=0-415-34796-3|page=62}}

The current dockyard is still used by the Royal Navy and is referred to as 'His Majesty's Naval Base Gibraltar (HMNB Gibraltar)'.

The base is the permanent home to the Royal Navy's Gibraltar Squadron, equipped with two Cutlass-class patrol vessels and three Pacific 24 rigid inflatable boats.{{Cite web |title=Gibraltar Squadron |url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/operations/mediterranean-and-black-sea/gibraltar-squadron |access-date=11 May 2023 |website=Royal Navy}} They are supported by diving platforms and harbour work boats. The base is also home to the offshore patrol vessel HMS Trent.{{cite web |title=Two new vessels for GDP as part of £36m MoD contract |url=https://www.chronicle.gi/two-new-vessels-for-gdp-as-part-of-36m-mod-contract/ |access-date=14 September 2023 |website=Gibraltar Chronicle |date=17 June 2021}} Gibraltar regularly hosts other British or allied warships and support vessels.{{Cite web |last=Heappey |first=James |date=2 May 2023 |title=Gibraltar: Military Bases – Question for Ministry of Defence (UIN 182428) |url=https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-04-24/182428# |access-date=11 May 2023 |website=UK Parliament}}

The Gibraltar Defence Police (GDP) has its headquarters at North Gate House, located within HMNB Gibraltar. GDP is a civilian police force which is part of the MOD. As of 2023 it had 100 officers.{{cite web |last=Culatto |first=John |date=19 January 2023 |title=GIBRALTAR DEFENCE POLICE FACE UP TO DETAILED INSPECTION FOR FIRST TIME IN 85-YEAR HISTORY |url=https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2023/01/19/gibraltar-defence-police-face-up-to-detailed-inspection-for-first-time-in-85-year-history/ |access-date=6 March 2024 |work=The Olive Press}} The GDP operates two patrol boats and rigid inflatable boats.
