Built in the UK by Vickers Defense Systems, now BAE Systems and Land Armaments, it was designed as a replacement for the Challenger 1 tank in 1986 and has been in service with the British Army since July 1994.

Challenger 2 is used by four armored regiments, based in the South West of England at Tidworth, Wiltshire, and Bovington, Dorset. The regiments are called The Queen's Royal Hussars, The King's Royal Hussars, The Royal Tank Regiment, and The Royal Wessex Yeomanry which is the reserve regiment. Each regiment operates 56 Challenger 2 tanks and a similar number of supporting vehicles in tasks such as reconnaissance and ammunition supply.
