Lieutenant General Best Barracks (Dutch: Luitenant-generaal Bestkazerne), formerly De Peel Air Base (Dutch: Luchtmachtbasis De Peel), is a Royal Netherlands Army guided missile base in the Netherlands.

During World War II in June 1944 the German Luftwaffe constructed the first airfield near the town of De Rips, consisting of a single 1,400-meter (4,600 ft) long and 75-meter (246 ft) wide grass strip.

It was not located on the site of the current air base, but about 8 kilometers (5 mi) to the north-west of it.

In 1993 it was closed as an operational airfield and became the home base of the Royal Netherlands Air Force guided missile division (Groep Geleide Wapens, or GGW).

[2] In March 2012 it was decided as part of a reorganisation to transfer control of the base from the Royal Netherlands Air Force to the Royal Netherlands Army, resulting in a name change to Lieutenant General Best Barracks (Dutch: Luitenant-generaal Bestkazerne).
