Mildenhall Air Base Fire Department

== Area Served ==
Royal Air Force Mildenhall or RAF Mildenhall is a Royal Air Force (RAF) station located near Mildenhall in Suffolk County, England. Despite its status as a RAF station, the base has been in continuous United States Air Force Europe (USAFE) operation from 11 July 1950 to the present time, and is known as "The Gateway to the United Kingdom" for most U.S. military personnel and dependents arriving or departing the United Kingdom. On 8 January 2015, the United States Department of Defense announced that USAF operations at RAF Mildenhall would end and be relocated to Germany (Spangdahlem Air Base) and elsewhere within the UK. After a period of uncertainty it was confirmed in July 2020 that the relocation of operations had been cancelled. RAF Mildenhall is currently the home of the United States Air Force's 100th Air Refueling Wing, the only permanent USAF air refueling wing in the European theater. One of the wing's honors is that it is the only modern USAF operational wing allowed to display on its assigned aircraft the tail code (Square-D) of its World War II predecessor.
== Department Profile ==
