A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said: "Training exercises are a vital part of our work to protect the public and this exercise is not in response to a specific incident or threat.
"Thank you to those in the area for your cooperation."
RAF Marham is the home of the F-35 Lightning, the RAF's multi-role stealth fighter which can also operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.
The base contains a workforce of 3,600 service personnel, civil servants and contractors who carry out a range of engineering support functions from maintenance to frontline support.
