Protection of the UK’s
\nmilitary sites is shared between several organisations and covers more than a
\nhundred facilities used by the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, the Army, and other
\nMinistry of Defence (MoD) departments.<\/p>\n

The Defence Infrastructure
\nOrganisation manages the entire defence estate. It’s part of the
\nMoD.<\/p>\n

Armed soldiers are
\nprovided by the Military Provost Guard Service. The MoD Guard Service
\nprovides an unarmed presence.<\/p>\n

In the case of RAF
\nFairford, they’re supported in their work by the RAF Police as well as the
\nlocal police force, Gloucestershire Constabulary.<\/p>\n

London’s Metropolitan
\nPolice leads the UK’s counter-terror policing. <\/p>\n

The Security Service (MI5)
\nis the UK’s domestic security and intelligence agency which evaluates the
\nintelligence picture and assesses threats against the UK. <\/p>\n

Naturally, they
\nwork closely with their counterparts in countries like the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who guards UK military bases?published at 16:44 BST 16:44 BST Rich PrestonBBC News Protection of the UK’s military…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-784430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
