  • His Majesty The King makes his first visit as monarch to the UK’s top operational military headquarters.
  • Military personnel and civil servants showcase their round-the-clock work to keep the UK and our allies safe.
  • The visit reaffirms the enduring and close relationship between the Crown and the United Kingdom’s Armed Forces.
  • Northwood HQ is the nerve centre of UK defence, directing military operations across the globe. Home to the UK’s joint headquarters, as well as NATO’s Allied Maritime Command, His Majesty The King met with soldiers, sailors, aviators, and civil servants from the UK and NATO allies who are always on; co-ordinating joint and combined military activities around the clock.

    His Majesty met with personnel across the site, including the team who recently oversaw the UK’s Carrier Strike Group deployment to the Indo-Pacific, as well as those who play a vital role supporting Ukraine. The visit comes as the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year, with the UK standing to support Ukraine for as long as it takes.

    His Majesty was welcomed by the Deputy Commander of Cyber & Specialist Operations Command (CSOC), Air Marshal Suraya Marshall, before being shown the operational control rooms from which all live overseas operations are managed.
