[[File:Monctongarrison.JPG|thumb|The southwestern portion of the former [[CFB Moncton]] base continues to be used by the [[Canadian Forces]], known as Moncton Garrison.]]
Aside from locally formed militia units, the [[Canadian Forces|military]] did not have a significant presence in the Moncton area until the beginning of the Second World War. In 1940, a large military supply base (later known as CFB Moncton) was constructed on a railway spur line north of downtown next to the CNR shops. This base served as the main supply depot for the large wartime military establishment in the Maritimes.<ref name="Military Moncton">{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/2529/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070205094505/http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/2529/|archive-date=February 5, 2007|title=Canadian Military History Page |date=March 13, 2007 |work=Bruce Forsyth |access-date=July 20, 2007}}</ref> In addition, two [[British Commonwealth Air Training Plan]] bases were also built in the Moncton area during the war: No. 8 Service Flying Training School, RCAF, and No. 31 Personnel Depot, RAF. The RCAF also operated No. 5 Supply Depot in Moncton.<ref name="Military Moncton" /> A naval [[listening station]] was also constructed in Coverdale (Riverview) in 1941 to help in coordinating radar activities in the North Atlantic.<ref name="Military Moncton" /> Military flight training in the Moncton area terminated at the end of World War II and the naval listening station closed in 1971. CFB Moncton remained open to supply the maritime military establishment until just after the end of the [[Cold War]].<ref name="Military Moncton" />

With the closure of CFB Moncton in the early 1990s, the military presence in Moncton has been significantly reduced.<ref name="CFB Moncton">{{cite web|url=http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/cfb_gagetown/branch/monctn_e.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040317005939/http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/cfb_gagetown/branch/monctn_e.asp|archive-date=March 17, 2004|title=CFB Gagetown Support Detachment Moncton |date=March 13, 2007 |work=[[Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces]] |access-date=July 20, 2007}}</ref> The northern portion of the former base property has been turned over to the Canada Lands Corporation and is slowly being redeveloped.<ref name="CLC Plan">{{cite web |url=http://www.clcl.ca/en/pdf/summary-sommaire_1999-2004.pdf |title=CLC Corporate Plan 1999–2004 |date=March 13, 2007 |work=[[Canada Lands Company]] |access-date=July 20, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070724202846/http://www.clcl.ca/en/pdf/summary-sommaire_1999-2004.pdf |archive-date=July 24, 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all}}</ref> The southern part of the former base remains an active [[Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces|DND]] property and is now termed the Moncton Garrison. It is affiliated with [[CFB Gagetown]].<ref name="CFB Moncton" /> Resident components of the garrison include the 1 Engineer Support Unit (Regular force). The garrison also houses the 37 Canadian Brigade Group Headquarters (reserve force) and one of the 37 Brigades constituent units; the [[8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise's)]], which is an armoured reconnaissance regiment.<ref name="CFB Moncton" /> 3 Area support unit Det Moncton, and 42 Canadian Forces Health Services Centre Det Moncton provide logistical support for the base.<ref name="CFB Moncton" /> In 2013, the last regular forces units left the Moncton base, but the reserve units remain active and Moncton remains the 37 Canadian Brigade Unit headquarters.
