ALLIED LAND FORCES EXERCISE (1992) |
|
|
|
Members of the International Airlift Control Element (IALCE) a division of
Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) became established at |
|
Teesside Airport from 09 May to co-ordinate the movement of over 100
transport aircraft deploying troops and equipment of the Allied Mobile Force |
|
Land (AMF/L), an element of NATO's Immediate Reaction Forces, en route to
the Otterburn training area in Northumberland. |
|
|
|
These training exercises are regularly scheduled to enhance the
multinational unit's ability to respond promptly and to work in harmony
among the many different |
|
nations, cultures and languages that comprise AMF/L. |
|
|
|
IALCE is responsible for the monumental task of co-ordinating the transport
of soldiers and equipment at short notice to designated locations. |
|
|
|
At Teesside Airport the IALCE took over No1 Hangar for use as a reception
area and store and a Luftwaffe radio station was established adjacent to |
|
Stand 6, the majority of aircraft were handled on Stands 7 - 10 opposite No1
Hangar, although those with dangerous cargo off loaded on the south |
|
side of the airfield |
|
