Urgent update, October 2019

A series of announcements over the Summer suggest that the JIAC development at USAF Croughton has been shelved, the reasons being partly practical, partly budgetary. There's more detail of these changes available in this article: How Donald Trump’s Border Wall Helped to Terminate the USAF Croughton ‘Joint Intelligence Analysis Centre’ (JIAC).

The NATO JIAC pages will be updated once the position has been clarified – and the move to USAF Molesworth set out in detail.
