The Queen will visit the army’s new base at Leuchars on Monday.
On a visit to the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards at Leuchars Station, her majesty will unveil a plaque naming the base Waterloo Barracks.
The Queen who is Colonel in Chief of the regiment will also meet serving soldiers and their families and hear about the regiment’s work and activities.
To mark their move to Fife, the monarch will join officers for a regimental photograph before attending a private lunch.
The army took control of the former RAF base last April when it was renamed Leuchars Station.
Since then the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards have gradually relocated from their base in Germany during the spring and summer.
The new army station will be fully manned by the summer of next year when the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards return from operational training in Canada.
There will be around 1,800 military personnel and their families at the Fife base.
Of the 800 soldiers, 426 are SCOTS DG with the rest made up from the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) and the Royal Military Police.
The Queen who is holidaying at her summer retreat of Balmoral will follow in her husband’s footsteps when she goes to the base, as the Duke of Edinburgh paid a visit to one of the new army battalions now located on the former RAF base.
In his capacity as Colonel in Chief of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Prince Philip took time out of his schedule to meet members of 2 Close Support Battalion REME.
His visit was described by Lieutenant Colonel Chris King as an honour and he said the duke took a great interest in the work the battalion was doing both in the UK and overseas.
SCOTS DG was formed in 1971 by the amalgamation of the 3rd Carabiniers and the 6th Dragoon Guards and The Royal Scots Greys.
The regiment completed four tours of Northern Ireland and saw active service during the Gulf War in 1991, Bosnia and Kosovo.
It deployed to Iraq in 2003, 2006 and 2008 and Afghanistan in 2008, 2011 and 2013/14.
