一名美国官员周一下午告诉我们，位于英格兰的至少两个驻扎美国空军飞机的基地正在实施加强后的安保协议。该官员是在回应我们关于皇家空军米尔登霍尔基地（RAF Mildenhall）出现疑似异常飞机调动的提问。目前尚不清楚是什么触发了这些措施、这些措施已实施多久，以及它们是否与一项正在进行的调查有关——该调查针对的是伊朗是否应对9月发生在皇家空军费尔福德基地（RAF Fairford）的一起安全事件负责，据报道该事件曾导致B-1“枪骑兵”轰炸机仓促撤离。
At least two bases in England hosting U.S. Air Force aircraft are operating under beefed-up security protocols, a U.S. official told us Monday afternoon. The official was responding to our questions about what appeared to be unusual aircraft movements out of RAF Mildenhall. It is unclear what spurred these measures, how long they have been in place or whether they are connected to an ongoing investigation into whether Iran was behind a security incident at RAF Fairford in September that reportedly prompted the hasty departure of B-1 Lancer bombers.
“皇家空军莱肯希思基地（RAF Lakenheath）和皇家空军米尔登霍尔基地目前正在实施增强的武力防护措施，”该官员告诉我们。“我们持续评估各种因素，以决定实施或调整何种措施来保护我们的设施、人员及其家属。我们正与东道国伙伴密切合作，以尽量减少增强武力防护活动带来的影响，并确保美国人员、其家属及当地社区的安全。”该官员拒绝透露采取了哪些具体步骤。
“Enhanced force protection measures are in effect across RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall,” the official told us. “We constantly assess a variety of factors that determine what measures we institute or modify to protect our installations, our people and their families. We are working closely with our host nation counterparts to minimize impacts from enhanced force protection activities and ensure the safety of U.S. personnel, their families and the local community.”The official declined to say what steps were taken.
该官员补充道：“出于作战安全原因，我们不讨论具体的武力防护措施。”
“For operational security reasons, we do not discuss specific force protection measures,” the official added.
皇家空军米尔登霍尔基地和皇家空军莱肯希思基地均为美国空军的主要枢纽。米尔登霍尔基地的驻防单位是第100空中加油联队，该联队运营KC-135“同温层加油机”空中加油机。该基地还是空军RC-135V/W“铆钉联络”侦察机、空军特种作战司令部（AFSOC）CV-22“鱼鹰”倾转旋翼机和MC-130J“突击队II”特种作战运输机的驻地。莱肯希思基地则部署有空军F-15E“打击鹰”战斗机和F-35A“闪电II”战斗机。
RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath are both major hubs for the U.S. Air Force. Mildenhall’s host unit is the 100th Air Refueling Wing, which operates KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling jets. The base is also home to Air Force RC-135V/W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft , Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) CV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and MC-130J Commando II special operations cargo planes . Lakenheath hosts Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle and F-35A Lightning II aircraft .

正如我们在本文前面所述，这位官员是在回应我们关于米尔登霍尔皇家空军基地出现异常飞机动向的提问。这些动向最早是由开源航班追踪账号@DefenceGeek发现的。
Both bases also see frequent flights transiting to other locations.
“在今天一天中，驻扎在米尔登霍尔皇家空军基地（EGUN）的多项美国空军资产进行了未预告/意外的移动前往其他地点，其中有几架正在移动中，”DefenceGeek在X平台上写道。“今天早些时候的前几架我以为是因为该地区大雾导致的，但其他信息现在表明可能是别的原因…… — — 有几架KC-135已移动至施潘达勒姆（ETAD）或普雷斯特维克（EGPK） — — CV-22B已从米尔登霍尔移动至拉肯希斯 目前尚不清楚是否有正在进行的演习，或是否有潜在威胁的情报（继费尔福德皇家空军基地发生事件之后）……”更新：驻米尔登霍尔皇家空军基地的美军资产正在分散部署对于评论和提问的人，不，关于米尔登霍尔皇家空军基地的飞行通告（NOTAM）与目前正在发生的情况无关。
As we noted earlier in this piece, the official was responding to our questions about unusual aircraft movements out of Mildenhall. They were first noticed by the @DefenceGeek open-source flight tracker account. “Over the course of today, a number of US Air Force assets at RAF Mildenhall (EGUN) have made unannounced/unexpected movements to other locations, with several of those movements in motion presently,” DefenceGeek wrote on X. “The initial few this morning I assumed were due to heavy fog in the area, but other information is now suggesting something else… – Several KC-135s have moved to Spangdahlem (ETAD) or Prestwick (EGPK) – CV-22Bs have moved from Mildenhall to Lakenheath It remains unclear if there is an ongoing exercise or information of a potential threat (following the incident at RAF Fairford)…”

目前尚不清楚拉肯希斯基地的这篇帖文与加强部队防护状态之间是否存在任何关联。驻欧非美空军（USAFE）拒绝讨论安全措施。该司令部负责监管美空军在欧洲和非洲的行动。
(@DefenceGeek) November 9, 2026 “Our strongest security asset is an observant community,” the RAF Lakenheath Facebook post read . “Staying vigilant and reporting suspicious activity, including unauthorized drone activity, helps protect our Airmen, families and mission. If you see something unusual on or around the Tri-Base area, report it to Security Forces.”It is unclear what connection, if any, the Lakenheath post has to the enhanced force protection status.
“美空军飞机因各种原因在基地和作战地点之间轮换部署，包括训练和现实任务需求，”驻欧非美空军向我们表示。“美军飞机根据与盟友和伙伴签署的准入、基地使用和领空飞越协议进行部署。基于作战安全考虑，我们将不提供有关资产调动的进一步信息。”
U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa (USAFE) declined to discuss security measures. The command oversees U.S. Air Force operations in Europe and Africa. “U.S. Air Force aircraft rotate between installations and operating locations for a variety of reasons including training and real world requirements,” USAFE told us.
在特朗普总统继续权衡是否恢复对伊朗实施打击之际，米尔登霍尔基地的飞机起飞正值源源不断的加油机和其他飞机前往中东之时。今天下午，特朗普结束了与卡塔尔首相穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼的会晤，双方讨论了通过外交手段解决与伊朗冲突的停滞努力。
“U.S. military aircraft are hosted in accordance with access, basing, and overflight agreements with our Allies and partners. Due to operations security, we will not provide further information on movement of assets.”The departures from Mildenhall took place amid an ongoing flow of refueling tankers and other aircraft to the Middle East as President Donald Trump continues to mull whether to resume strikes against Iran .
还应指出的是，正如我们在本文前文所述，去年 11 月底，拉肯希斯、米尔登霍尔以及另外两个驻有美军的英国皇家空军基地曾发生无人机闯入事件，我们是首家对此进行报道的媒体。
This afternoon, Trump wrapped up his meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to discuss a flagging effort to resolve the conflict with Iran through diplomacy. It should also be noted that in late November 2024, Lakenheath, Mildenhall and two other RAF bases hosting U.S. forces experienced drone incursions, which we were the first to write about .
正如我们在本文前面提到的，在拉肯希斯皇家空军基地发生一起事件后，人们对驻有美空军飞机和人员的英国基地的安全问题提出了担忧。
As we mentioned earlier in this piece, security concerns about bases in England hosting U.S. Air Force aircraft and personnel were raised following an incident at RAF Fairford.
与米尔登霍尔和莱肯希斯一样，英国皇家空军费尔福德基地是美军飞机在英国的主要枢纽。它定期接待战略资产，包括轰炸机和U-2侦察机。它还充当其他飞机（包括战斗机）往返美国途中经停的中转站。今年早些时候，从费尔福德基地起飞的轰炸机打击是美国针对伊朗主要战斗行动的核心环节。
Like Mildenhall and Lakenheath, RAF Fairford is a major hub for U.S. military aircraft in the United Kingdom. It is a regular host of strategic assets, including bombers and U-2 spy planes. It also acts as a pit stop for other aircraft, including fighters, that are being ferried to and from the United States. Bomber strikes launched from Fairford were a central aspect of major U.S. combat operations against Iran earlier this year.

A U.S. Air Force Rockwell B-1 Lancer bomber at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. Ben Birchall – PA Images In late September, five men were arrested on suspicion of driving bomb-laden vans toward it. They were soon released on bail after no explosives were found, but two men were later arrested, one of who “charged with assisting a foreign intelligence service, which police earlier said they believed to be Iran,” according to the BBC .
在该安全事件发生一周后，一名美国国防官员当时向TWZ证实，自“史诗之怒”行动以来部署在英国皇家空军费尔福德基地的美国空军B-1B“枪骑兵”轰炸机已返回其母基地。据报道，这一仓促行动是由伊朗对该基地的新威胁引发的。正如我们此前报道的那样，德黑兰曾在7月直接威胁英国皇家空军费尔福德基地，原因是该基地被用作发动针对伊朗攻击的基地。
A week after the security incident , U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers that had been deployed to RAF Fairford in the U.K. since Operation Epic Fury returned to their home stations, a U.S. defense official confirmed to TWZ at the time. The hasty movement was reportedly sparked by new Iranian threats against the base. As we previously reported , Tehran directly threatened RAF Fairford in July over its use as a base to launch attacks against Iran.
我们无法确定是什么促使英国皇家空军莱肯希斯基地和米尔登霍尔基地提高了安全等级，也无法确定米尔登霍尔基地的飞机调动是预防性措施，还是仅仅是资源的正常调配。我们将继续监控事态发展，并在必要时提供最新消息。
We can’t say for sure what prompted the enhanced security at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall or whether the aircraft movements at Mildenhall are precautionary or just normal shifting of resources. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when warranted.
