== History ==
The barracks, which were named after Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, were built in the Fortress Gothic Revival Style for the Royal Berkshire Regiment and completed in 1881. During the Second World War the 401st Glider Infantry Regiment of 101st Airborne of the United States Army were based at the barracks in preparation for the Normandy landings.
The barracks ceased to be the home of the Royal Berkshire Regiment when that regiment merged with the Wiltshire Regiment to form the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment at Albany Barracks on the Isle of Wight in 1959.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment )〕 The Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment retained their administrative headquarters at Brock Barracks until they moved to Cathedral Close in Salisbury in 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Museum history )〕
The barracks continued in use as a Territorial Army base with D Company (Berkshire), Wessex Volunteers using the base from 1967: this unit evolved as D Company, the Wessex Regiment in 1972,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Berkshire Regiment )〕 the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Company, the Royal Rifle Volunteers in 1999〔 and HQ Company, 7th Battalion The Rifles in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.2ndroyalberkshire.co.uk/pic_brock.htm )〕
