Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia
Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, abbreviated as NSF Diego Garcia, is a British Indian Ocean Territory facility used by the Royal Navy and leased to the United States Navy, located on the atoll Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Camp Thunder Cove is part of the facility, and is operated by the United States Armed Forces and British Armed Forces. The base was built between 1971 and 1976 following the expulsion of 2,000 Chagosians, descendants of imported plantation workers, from Diego Garcia and other islands in the Chagos Archipelago. In October 2024, the British government announced a deal that would see sovereignty over the Chagos Islands transferred to Mauritius and the Navy Support Facility Diego Garcia leased to the British government for an initial period of 99 years. In September 2026, Wes Streeting announced that the Chagos Islands deal would be placed under review following direct criticism from Donald Trump.
