  • House of Commons: Written Statement (HCWS178)
    House of Commons: Written Statement (HCWS178) Ministry of Defence Written Statement made by: Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) on 08 Jan 2015. Infrastructure Review The US Department of Defense has today announced the outcome of a review of its requirement for bases for US forces in Europe. These decisions reflect the impact of force structure changes, the changing security environment, advances in technology and the fiscal climate. I am delighted to inform the House that, following consultations between the two Governments, the US have decided that RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk will be the first location in Europe to host their F-35 aircraft, a decision that reflects the closeness of the UK/US defence relationship. Two squadrons of US F-35 aircraft will be based there, with the first aircraft scheduled to arrive in 2020. Their relative proximity to the RAF’s F-35 Lightning II aircraft (to be based at RAF Marham in Norfolk) paves the way for continued close collaboration between our respective forces. In particular, it offers further opportunities for the UK and US air forces to work and train together, including simulator training where the UK has made a significant investment. Elsewhere, the US has decided to withdraw from its base at RAF Mildenhall (adjacent to RAF Lakenheath) and to consolidate at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire its activities at RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth. The precise timing is not yet determined; withdrawal from RAF Mildenhall is unlikely to begin until 2019. The US presence at RAF Fairford, Menwith Hill and other sites is not affected by this review.
