Charged with the protection of Diego Garcia and the outlying atolls of the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Royal Marines maintain a roughly 1,700-strong garrison on Diego Garcia.
The headquarters facility also serves as the base of operations for British Customs, who control access to Diego Garcia from the sea by means of a harbor launch which operates from the pier facility and services the ships using Diego Garcia's anchorage.
