DTE East Public Information Leaflet
PUBLIC INFORMATION LEAFLET DTE East FACILITATING TRAINING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT DTE East WHY THE ARMY NEEDS TO TRAIN The British Army is held in the highest regard around the world. This respect has been hard-won over recent years in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, the Gulf, the Balkans – and countless peacekeeping operations throughout the world. But such professionalism does not happen by chance. It is attained by constant, thorough and tough training, in realistic conditions. The Defence Training Estate (DTE) provides the principal facilities to achieve this. ORGANISATION The Defence Training Estate in the UK is controlled by Headquarters DTE, based at Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, Wiltshire. The Estate is sub- divided into 12 regionally-based areas, each with its own Headquarters and staff. DTE East (DTE E) consists of Stanford training area and ranges, East Anglia training area with its Colchester-centred facilities, and East Midlands to the north of the region with its similar amenities in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. TRAINING IN DTE E DTE E was formed in 1999, and hosts units from many other parts of the UK, who come to take advantage of the particular facilities we can offer them. At Stanford training area, approximately 340,000 man-training-days are carried out annually by the Regular and Territorial Army, Cadet units from all 3 services, police forces, and overseas forces. East Anglia training area includes Colchester, the ranges at Middlewick and Fingringhoe, plus Barton Road, and a dry training area (i.e. without live firing) at Stradishall disused airfield. Finally, East Midlands training area includes facilities at Beckingham, Fulbeck, Yardley Chase, and Dukeries. -
06 Support for Ex-Service Personnel
Agenda Item No: 6 Draft Final Report 1 Front cover image: 2 Contents Chair‟s Introduction 5 Focus and Approach of the Scrutiny Review 7 Background and Context: National and Local Perspectives 8 Sources of Evidence 9 The Scrutiny Review‟s Key Findings and Conclusions 11 Summary of Recommendations 21 Appendix 1 Scrutiny Review Project Brief 23 Appendix 2 Map of military bases in the East Midlands 27 3 4 1. Support for Ex-Service Personnel Scrutiny Review - Chair’s Introduction Northamptonshire County Council‟s Scrutiny Management Committee has chosen to look at the support provided to ex-service personnel in the county as one of its scrutiny topics for 2010/11. This scrutiny review was intended to consider how different public and voluntary organisations work together to support people in Northamptonshire after leaving the Armed Forces. This topic was of particular interest to me as I have a family member serving with the Royal Air Force Nursing Service. Other councillors who have been recruited to join the working group have had their own personal and family connections with our Armed Forces. We are all aware of the dedication and service that all members of the Armed Forces give to our country, most visibly in current action in Afghanistan and now in Libya. The regrettably familiar sight of those who have paid the ultimate price returning home via the town of Wootton Bassett is imprinted on our memories. The current financial situation at home has led to proposed reductions within the Armed Forces, which will mean an increased flow of ex-service personnel returning to civilian life. -

East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (North)
East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (North) The trail begins at Horncastle and the route has been carefully planned so as to end there too. Route details between the different RAF bases. Section 1 Horncastle to RAF Ludford Magna Depart from Horncastle Market place, and join the A158, heading towards Lincoln. At the junction with the B1225, turn RIGHT, and take the B1225 until you reach the crossroads with the A631. At this junction, turn RIGHT, and enter the village of Ludford Magna. The accommodation site for the airfield was actually situated at the rear of Ludford Parva. The somewhat unusual names come from Latin - magnus = large, parvus = small. In the centre of Ludford, on the left hand side of the road near the church, there is a memorial to No.101 Squadron, RAF who flew for most of the war from here. This memorial was erected in 1978, and was dedicated on July 16th of that year. Also serving as a reminder to those of the squadron who died during the war is a book of remembrance, which is housed in the parish church. Section 2 RAF Ludford Magna to RAF Kelstern From Ludford Magna, continue to follow the A631 towards Grimsby. Take the second turning on the LEFT and follow this road. When you arrive at the crossroads, turn LEFT and continue to the T junction, past several of the former airfield buildings. To your left, you will see the memorial to No.625 Squadron RAF, which has served as a template for several other memorials across the country. -
