The 10th Royal Hussars' Home Headquarters first opened in Winchester in 1963 and, following amalgamation with the 11th Hussars in 1969, the new Royal Hussars Regiment established its headquarters at Peninsula Barracks, also opening a museum there in 1980. In 1992 The Royal Hussars amalgamated with The King's Hussars to form The King's Royal Hussars. Recruits to the regiment receive their initial training in Winchester at the Army Training Regiment base.
