Defence Secretary Philip Hammond is to announce details of where troops withdrawing from Germany will be re-housed in the UK.
Some 16,000 troops and their families will be moved back to the UK over the next five years.
The reorganisation will cost about £2bn and it will see some UK bases expanded, while others will close.
The pull-out has been accelerated as part of the defence cuts announced by the government.
There has been a British army presence in Germany for nearly 70 years. Since the plan to withdraw was announced, 4,000 troops have already moved back to the UK.
'Big change'BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said much of the £2bn would be spent on new Army accommodation and offices. The government is set to save £240m a year, the cost of keeping British troops in Germany.
"Germany was good for training grounds but the Cold War is over and the Army is getting smaller," he said.
Our correspondent says the reorganisation will focus on garrison towns such as Catterick and Colchester, and old RAF bases such as RAF Leuchars in Fife and RAF Kinloss in Moray.
There will be political ramifications from the announcement, he added, as Scotland is likely to get fewer troops than initially promised.
Plans to withdraw the Army from Germany were set out in the government's 2010 strategic defence review.
The pull-out has been accelerated because there were bigger cuts to the Army than originally planned, saving money which could be used for the relocation.
As part of wider defence cuts, the overall size of the Army is to be reduced from 102,000 troops to 82,000 by 2020.
Mr Hammond said the location changes would meet Britain's defence needs in the future.
"As our forces get smaller in response to the decisions we took back in 2010 in the strategic defence review, it makes sense for us to review where we locate them, how we work together, making sure that we're fully efficient and of course the Cold War is now long since over and the presence of our forces in Germany is something of an anomaly," he said.
The defence secretary also said the move would bring jobs and investment back to the UK.
"By investing nearly £2bn in new infrastructure, bringing our forces back from Germany will provide a very significant boost to the economy both in the spending power of those forces and forces families and in terms of the boost it gives to the construction industry," he added.
The Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Peter Wall , said it was a "big change" for the Army but the funding was in place for a well-organised transfer.
He also said there would be significant benefits for both soldiers and their families.
"I think the upside will be more stability, more predictability about where you are going to live and where our girlfriends, partner, spouses might end up," he said.
The Scottish National Party has already voiced concerns that fewer troops will be re-based in Scotland.
In Wales, interest focuses on the future of Cawdor Barracks in Pembrokeshire, which houses 14th Signal Regiment, experts in electronic warfare, and the St Athan base in the Vale of Glamorgan.
