THE SQUADRON

2622 Squadron RAuxAF Regiment falls under 5 Force Protection Wing.  They recruit, train and generate RAF Police and RAF Regiment Reserve personnel in support of RAF Operations at home and abroad. 

They specialise in airfield defence and recruits from across the north of Scotland, to train and deploy Reservists wherever the RAF is on exercise or operations, in the UK and overseas.

They require a minimum commitment of 27 days (paid) per year which results in an annual tax-free lump sum ‘bounty’ payment, with training offered throughout the year, on one weekend each month.

The Squadron tartan is the ‘Grey Douglas’, which can be worn by those serving on RAF Reserve Squadrons based in Scotland.
