Ministry of Defence Chicksands, or more simply MOD Chicksands, is a tri-service British Armed Forces facility in Bedfordshire, approximately 35 miles (56 km) north of London.
The site was formerly the home of the Defence Intelligence and Security Centre (DISC) after it moved from Ashford in 1997. Today, the Defence Intelligence Training Group (DITG) is based at MOD Chicksands, and is the home of the Intelligence Corps.
The base will close and be disposed of in 2030.[1][2]
