Known in the trade as GCHQ (for Government Communications Headquarters), the facility receives and analyzes data from a worldwide system of spy bases, ships, planes and satellites. It operates round the clock and employs some 10,000 staffers round the globe. Cheltenham is a vital part of the West's constant effort to break the Soviet Union's military and diplomatic codes.
