The unit was reactivated in late 1955 and was based at RAAF Base Butterworth in Malaya from 1958 until it was again disbanded in October 1966. 114MCRU was reactivated in April 1968 and is currently the RAAF's only easily deployable radar unit and regularly deploys into the field from its home base at RAAF Base Darwin during military exercises.
