Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

Wimbish: Authority for dogs to be allowed back onto Carver Barracks


The following additional points must be adhered to in order to continue to allow dogs to access the barracks:  All dogs must be registered with their sub unit SSM or Head of Department (HoD). Once registered, the dog owner will be issued a tag which must be placed on the collar of the dog, especially when accessing site. If you are stopped to ask about your dog and no dog tag is present then you will be asked to leave the barracks.  All registered dogs must have in date and valid pet insurance which is to be shown to the SSM/HoD when registering.

Dogs must be on a lead within barracks at all times.  Dog waste must be picked up and deposited in a dog waste bin or general waste bin either on site or at your home address. Do not use the recycling bins on site.  Dogs are allowed access to site either to go to an office with the dog owner (if authorised by SSM/HoD) or as a thoroughfare to the airfield. The camp is not to be used as a dog walking facility and access is only granted for movement to and from work or the airfield.  SLA dog owners are still encouraged to walk their dogs off site and not to use the camp as a dog walking facility where possible.  Any full dog waste bins on site or on the airfield can be reported to the Amey help desk as they are in contract for emptying. If full, report and also take your dog waste home until emptied.  Any breaches of the above could see a return to a ban of all dogs on site. If you witness other dog owners breaching any of the above then you must have the moral courage to challenge; the minority will always cause issues for the majority.
