Located in Deverell Barracks, Ripon, in an Army Training Estate Camp, JSMTW(R) benefits from being collocated alongside 38 Engineer Regiment, who provide them with administrative support. The wing is commanded by an APTC Captain and has a total of 11 staff. It has accommodation for 35 students and trains them not only in Summer Mountaineering, Rock Climbing and Canoeing, but also, and uniquely at JSMTC, in Caving. Training takes place in the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, but the Wing also has an indoor, climbing and caving training facility onsite.

JSMTW(R) also sponsors two annual overseas exercises that are based in host-nation commercial facilities. These are EX TITAN HALL (in Spain for Caving) and Ex RIPON ROCK (in Spain for Rock Climbing)
