The Prime Minister is reported to have confirmed to the leader of the Murcia Socialists, Pedro Saura, that Los Alcázares is to be the national base of a new Civil Guard rapid response unit, the Grupo de Acción Exterior.
La Verdad newspaper reports that the unit will be comprised of 400 officers, whose mission will be to respond to emergency situations, both at home and abroad.
The choice of Los Alcázares is closely tied to its proximity to Cartagena Port and the Spanish Air Force Academy airbase in San Javier. The site chosen is near Torre Pacheco, on the road to Los Alcázares.
Construction of the facilities together with housing for the officers and their families is expected to start next year.
