Headquarters West Midlands was a regional point of command based in West Midlands of England. The command administered the reserve units based in its area and also provided the military support HQ for the police and civilian population in the area.
History Under the Army 2020 reorganisation, 11th Signal Brigade amalgamated with 143 (West Midlands) Brigade. The latter became "Headquarters West Midlands" with responsibility for units in the following counties: Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, and West Midlands County. A formation parade took place at Donnington on 15 November 2014. Under the Army 2020 Refine reorganisation, 11th Signal and West Midlands Brigade remained responsible for reserve units in the West Midlands of England.
In 2024, under the Future Soldier reforms, the unit merged with Headquarters East to form Headquarters Centre at Kendrew Barracks.
