[2] Throughout the Cold War, the hospital was under 51st (Highland) Infantry Brigade; and on transfer to war, would re-subordinate to Commander Medical BAOR, to provide 800 beds to the 4th Garrison Area. [3] During the reforms implemented after the Cold War, the hospital was re-designated as 205 (Scottish) Field Hospital.

Under the Future Soldier programme, 205 (Scottish) Field Hospital amalgamated with 225th (Scottish) Medical Regiment to form the new 215th (Scottish) Multi-Role Medical Regiment in September 2023. [5] The new regiment comes under 2nd Medical Group. [6]
