About

"The European Air Transport Command, founded in 2010, is a single multinational command. Its headquarters is located at the Eindhoven ( air base in the Netherlands. The fleet is composed of over 150 assets located at the national air bases of the seven member nations (Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain and Italy). The EATC is a unique organisation for military air mobility, including transport, air-to-air refuelling and aeromedical evacuation within Europe. The overall objective is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the member nations' military air transport efforts. As NATO and the EU identified shortfalls in the domain of strategic transportation, initiatives were developed over the years, aiming at the highest degree of cooperation in a multinational command structure with an operational and a functional authority. The seven member nations operate their military air mobility assets under one single command with one common set of rules and regulations. They pool and share air mobility capabilities, exchange experiences and train together in multinational environments. (Source)
