The British Army Training Unit Suffield as it is call BATUS is is a British Army unit located at the vast training area of Canadian Forces Base Suffield in Alberta, Canada. BATUS is the British Army's largest armoured training facility and it can accommodate live-firing and tactical effect simulation (TES) exercises up to brigade level. BATUS conducts training from May to October each year. This normally consists of 4 to 6 battlegroups (BGs) each exercising for around 24 days each, supported by the BATUS permanent and temporary staff and a dedicated enemy. It fleet consits of 40 Challenger 2 (would only be 1 in TW 2000) tanks, 60 Warrior tracked armoured vehicles, and a similar number of CVR(T) and AFVs, a fleet of wheeled vehicles
Here's it Sub Units

Given the nature of this unit and German Army Training Establishment Shilo (GATES), I would think that both Germany and the UK would have there Soliders and Vehicles returned as they will need them given there is a war going on. There is Challenger Article that talks about a German-Anglo Unit based the permis that BATUS and GATES were left fullly entacted back in Canada
