Time for shifts for the first recruits

(BRUSSELS2) The German A310 plane from the Cologne-Wahn special air missions squadron which landed yesterday on the tarmac at Bamako - Sénou airport did not come only to bring trainers for EUTM (read: German trainers arrived in Bamako). He also brought some equipment. And as soon as it was refueled, it set off again for Senegal. In Dakar, it landed additional personnel and equipment for the German contingent support mission of the AFISMA-contingent, before taking off again, with German soldiers returning to the country on board. At the PC of EATC, in Eindhoven, which coordinates all the air movements of the transport aviation of 4 countries, we welcome these movements. It is "a good example of the effectiveness of EATC in planning missions". The procedure allows the goods rotation of troops in different theaters during a single mission". By adding several air transport requests (known as ATR) in a single mission, “ we avoid what is called "empty legs" - a flight without goods on board and to act as efficiently as possible".
