OUR SHARE VALUES

We seek excellence in all we do in order to deliver world-class air power, maintaining strong, effective relationships with all whom we work.

FORCE PROTECTION

Force Protection, delivered by the RAF Regiment and the RAF Police, is about protecting the RAF at home and away against threats that may impact on our freedom of action and operational effectiveness. While the RAF Regiment and RAF Police act on their own as "sub-groups", they are under the genre of Air Combat Support.

BATTLESPACE MANAGEMENT FORCE

The Battlespace Management Force mission is: "to understand, control and exploit the battlespace, delivering tactical Air Command and Control of UK Air Policing and Air Counter Terrorism operations while supporting the delivery of Combat Air Power for standing and contingent operations worldwide."
