Keep these close

Base essentials.

At your fingertips

Each detail has its own dated source. Confirm current procedures and availability with the responsible organization.

Find the right organization

Assignments & visits.

Match the assignment or appointment to the responsible organization. Confirm reporting, access and household-support eligibility with the sponsor or host.

Report to the correct CSS

Coordinate first reporting with your sponsor. Molesworth personnel use their Molesworth Command Support Staff; do not substitute an Alconbury office merely because services share a directory.

Arrival and check-in

Use the Alconbury housing office

The Alconbury Housing Office supports both communities. Use its rental referrals and lease guidance, and compare the home’s location with Molesworth work and Alconbury services before committing.

Housing and furnishings

Book the Britannia Inn at Alconbury

The community’s temporary lodging is the Britannia Inn at RAF Alconbury. Confirm availability and any pet room. Include the onward journey to Molesworth in the sponsor’s arrival plan.

Temporary lodging

Check Alconbury school-bus coverage

Alconbury has elementary and middle/high schools serving the community. Not every surrounding village has school-bus service. Have the transportation office check the proposed address before making a housing decision.

School and transport guidance

Check care at Alconbury

The community’s child-care and youth services are based at Alconbury. Ask the program about registration, a confirmed place and the specific location, then compare that journey with Molesworth work commitments.

Child care and registration

Use the Alconbury clinic appropriately

The 423rd clinic at Alconbury provides limited outpatient services, with no emergency department or inpatient care. Confirm your routine clinic and any Lakenheath or civilian referral destination.

Health-care facilities

Arrange commercial-airport transport

Do not assume the base supplies a pickup from a commercial airport. Agree transport with your sponsor before departure and ask the travel office about any costs you intend to claim.

Arrival and check-in
