The has government announced that RAF Lyneham is to become a defence training centre from 2013.
This move will mean several other MoD training sites around the UK will be closed, including Cosford, in Shropshire, Arborfield, in Berkshire and Bordon, in Hamphire.
In a statement the MoD said: "RAF Lyneham is the preferred location for future defence technical training.
"The Department will withdraw from Arborfield, in Berkshire and Bordon, in Hampshire, releasing the sites for sale by 2014/15 at the latest.
"Work is ongoing to identify the most effective and efficient phased moves to Lyneham which will include the training that currently takes place at the Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering at RAF Cosford."
Four years ago the MoD said it wanted to move the training to St Athan, in South Wales, but the project was axed as part of an expected reduction of up to 8% in the government's defence budget.
