Volkel Air Base (Dutch: Vliegbasis Volkel) (IATA: UDE, ICAO: EHVK) is a military airbase used by the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) - Dutch: Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu), and is located near the village of Volkel in North Brabant, Netherlands. It is home to two F-16 Fighting Falcon squadrons, No 312 and No 313. A third squadron formerly present at the airfield, No 311 Sqn, was officially disbanded on 27 September 2012. It also houses a maintenance, logistical, a base Squadron for the RNLAF, and also the 703rd Munitions Support Squadron, part of the 52nd Fighter Wing from the United States Air Force. Besides military use, a traumahelicopter operated by ANWB Medical Air Assistance on behalf of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre is based here. The Dienst Luchtvaart Politie also makes use of Volkel Air Base.

荷蘭沃爾克爾空軍基地內的核武器,歐洲政府往往拒絕證實或否認美國核武在歐洲境內的精確儲存位置。不過外洩的文件、照片與退休官員的評論，通常會證實它們的存在.美國（James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies）東亞禁止核武擴散計畫主任Jeffrey Lewis指出，美軍此舉公然違反了安全工作，歐洲核武的保密不是為了保護這些武器，而是為了保護政治家與軍方領袖，讓他們免於回答「北約核武共享如今是否仍有意義」等嚴苛的問題。.......

北約某位退休軍事將領透露出,美國不僅在荷蘭儲存核子武器以及意大利亦有儲存核子武器設備,其中2021 EU/DEFENCE .夏季軍事演習項目裡面,就有一項科目演練如何啟用這些核子武器以及運輸保護,甚至於發射這些核子武器,甚至於如果戰爭失敗兵士被俘虜軍事基地被敵人攻擊,或是佔領,如何保存或是銷毀這些核子武器,都有詳細的執行計劃,如今這些演習項目被透露出,顯示美國與NATO.之間的保秘防諜的工作程序出現漏洞,至於如何徹底查證,已經於事無補,僅有在演習過程中小心警慎的執行計劃,但是國際軍事戰略專家分析認為,美國的此項舉措是故意的標示,針對俄羅斯佈署的核子彈頭的飛彈基地,做出相對應的活動而已.

Together with these, it also hosts the public viewing days of the RNLAF, held annually at one of these three airfields, having both an airshow and static display of various military and civilian aircraft.

It is believed that since the early 1960s, USAF nuclear weapons have been stored at Volkel Air Base, to be used by the host nations aircraft. Formerly, storage took place in a weapon storage area on the north side of the base, and in a heavily defended quick reaction alert (QRA) area; however, since 1991, eleven WS3 Weapon Storage and Security System vaults are operational in the floors of the aircraft shelters.

The USAF 703rd Munitions Support Squadron (703rd MUNSS) is in charge of maintaining and securing the weapons. As of 2008, 22 B61 nuclear bombs are believed to be in storage at Volkel, to be used by the Dutch 311 and 312 F-16 squadrons at the base.

The F-16s based at Volkel can at times be seen with BDU-38 dummy bombs, which are used to simulate the B61. Despite the evidence for this, the Dutch Ministry of Defence never officially acknowledges or denies the presence of nuclear weapons at Volkel. In a book published by former air force pilot Steve Netto it is revealed that some fifty B28 nuclear bombs were in storage there around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which if needed were to be deployed by aircraft of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. In a document leaked as a part of the United States diplomatic cables leak the presence of nuclear weapons in the Netherlands is confirmed, though no specific location is given. On 10 June 2013, former Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers confirmed the existence of 22 nuclear weapons at the airfield. In a 2019 NATO draft report, Volkel was mentioned as one of six locations where, altogether, approximately 150 American B61 bombs are stored.
