Number 1 Company is the lead company in Lincs ACF, with Sobraon Barracks the headquarters of both 1 Coy and Lincs ACF. The Lincs ACF Headquarters, is a new build on the site of Sobraon Barracks. It was completed in March 2008, at a total cost of £1.33 million, this was paid for by East Midlands Reserve Forces and Cadets Association (EM RFCA) auctioning the old Barracks. This was done because the old barracks, situated in Newport in Lincoln, was falling into disrepair after the TA Detachment closed down in the 1990s leaving Lincs ACF the only occupants. Newport Barracks and its land was sold at £1.65 million and so the total project left EM RFCA with an extra £0.32 million. This saving was planned under its 'Spend to Save' scheme. The new headquarters of Lincs ACF in Sobraon Barracks was officially opened in June 2009 by HM Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, Mr Tony Worth, with a celebratory open day and the building being blessed by the Padre of Lincs ACF.
