The station is home to the tri-service Joint Service Signals Organisation, part of the [[Defence Intelligence#Joint Forces Intelligence Group (JFIG)|Joint Forces Intelligence Group]] of [[Strategic Command (United Kingdom)|Strategic Command]].<ref name="ICG">[http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/WhatWeDo/SecurityandIntelligence/DIS/ICG/ Intelligence Collection Group entry on MoD website]</ref> Other units include the RAF Aerial Erector School, No. 54 Signals Unit and No. 591 Signals Unit.
