MDPGA Wethersfield is a Ministry of Defence facility in Essex, England, located north of the village of Wethersfield, about 6 mi (9.7 km) north-west of the town of Braintree. Originally a military air station, the original accommodation areas have now been converted to become the Headquarters and Training Centre of the Ministry of Defence Police and Guarding Agency.
Formerly known as RAF Wethersfield, it opened in 1944. During World War II it was used by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force. It was closed in 1946, and was reopened in 1951 as a result of the Cold War. Used until 1970 as a United States Air Force fighter base, it was held as a reserve airfield until 1993, when it came under control of the Ministry of Defence Police.
