RAF Croughton Training Exercises

Message from RAF Croughton

We’d like to make you aware of some temporary changes you may notice at RAF Croughton from today onwards. In light of current real-world events, the base will be taking precautionary steps to ensure the personnel and facilities remain prepared and secure.

As a result, you may observe an increased security presence at the base, including personnel carrying weapons. You may also hear or see training exercises taking place on site. The ‘Giant Voice’ tannoy system will be used frequently to broadcast emergency messages as part of these exercises. We want to reassure you that these are training exercises and there is no immediate threat to the base or surrounding community. These measures are part of drills designed to ensure readiness and reflect the current global situation.

Please share this information within the local community as soon as possible to help ensure awareness and to minimise any potential alarm or confusion.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Please be aware that we cannot answer questions about the global operation taking place. Should you have such questions, please direct these to the Public Affairs office who can be reached on 501csw.pa@us.af.mil.

Kind regards,

Abby
