DoD Announces Installation Realignment In The United Kingdom

            The Department of Defense announced today that the United States will cease operations at two military facilities in the United Kingdom.
 
            With the U.S. European Command’s force structure realignment and transformation, it was determined that RAF West Ruislip and RAF Daws Hill are no longer required. 
 
Facilities affected by this decision will begin the process of return to the host nation. As with all stationing actions, the United States coordinated with host nation officials before making this announcement.
