ABOUT THIS GROUP
No 1 Group coordinates all of the RAF's frontline, fast-jet force elements and the Intelligence Surveillance, Targeting and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) work.
The 8,500 personnel in No 1 Group are ready to meet any emerging threats to the UK or UK interests around the globe, including:
Protecting UK airspace 24/7 365 days a year with the Typhoon Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) aircraft
Continued air defence of the Falkland Islands
Exercising with NATO partners
ACHIEVING NO 1 GROUP'S MISSION
The Group has to ensure the RAF stays one step ahead in an uncertain world. It does this by:
evolving the RAF's tactics
realistic training and exercises in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the United States
exploiting the RAF's equipment
LIGHTNING FORCE
The near term mission for the Lightning Force (LF) is to establish the foundations of Lightning capability by training the initial cadre of LF personnel and developing the process to generate and sustain the Force at RAF Marham. This is to bring the LF to initial operating capability.
TYPHOON FORCE
To generate, operate and sustain effective Combat Air power in all tasked roles and environments.
ISTAR FORCE
To deliver battle-winning knowledge and effect to commanders at every level.
ABOUT THIS GROUP
MISSION
"To generate, sustain and, when directed, command forces for current operations; and develop forces for future operations."
ROLE
2 Group’s role is to generate and employ military capability. The speed and global reach of 2 Group’s Force Protection and Air Mobility Force Elements allow the UK to rapidly deploy, sustain and recover its Armed Forces in response to developing security and humanitarian crises.
Air Mobility
In addition to being a core air power role in itself, Air Mobility provides activity that underpins all other air power roles. Air Mobility lies at the heart of the UK’s ability to achieve rapid air power effect to influence the behaviour of actors and the course of events. Air Mobility supports national security objectives as a key enabler for combat operations undertaken by the Royal Navy, the British Army, the RAF, cross-government agencies and Allies during national, Joint and Combined operations.
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. The continued recapitalisation of the RAF’s fleet has seen a smaller but increasingly complex and valuable number of aircraft operating from fewer but larger airbases than ever before. This move combined with the ever-changing threat reinforces the need for a specialist Force Protection capability to protect our personnel, defend our assets and secure our freedom to operate.
ABOUT THIS GROUP
The new 11 Group combines the capabilities of the COS Ops AO with the Air Battle Staff, comprising the deployable Joint Force Air Component (JFAC), the National Air & Space Operations Centre (NASOC) and the Executive Team. It also incorporates the BM Force, providing the building blocks for the generation of a powerful non-kinetic effects capability.
MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS
The nature of warfare is evolving constantly and Air Command must adapt and be able to conduct operations across multiple environments or domains, particularly Air, Space and Cyber. The huge amount of data that we collect must be applied with a focused and integrated approach, where intelligence and information activity is incorporated into the planning and execution of operations across the domains.
BATTLESPACE MANAGEMENT FORCE
The Battlespace Managment 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 & Space Power for standing and contingent operations worldwide."
MISSION STATEMENT
"Efficiently deliver world-class trained and educated personnel, RAFAT display, RAF sport and the premier cadet force experience in order to support RAF strategy to meet Defence commitments."
