The government is closing or scaling down RAF operations across the country, armed forces minister Adam Ingram said.
RAF Sealand in Cheshire will close completely while RAF Boulmer in Northumberland and RAF Neatishead in Norfolk are being downgraded.
Units at RAF Stafford will move to RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire.
The move will see the loss of between 300 and 450 civilian jobs and is a blow to communities near the affected bases.
Units from RAF Brize Norton will move to RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire along with those from Sealand, Boulmer and Neatishead.
