WASHINGTON D.C--The US military will close a major air base in Britain and withdraw from more than a dozen installations as part of a reorganization of forces in Europe, the Pentagon said Thursday.

US operations at RAF Mildenhall in Britain will end and the money-saving consolidation plan will result "in a slight decrease in our force levels" in the region but no loss to American military power, the Pentagon said in a statement.
