Highlights
U.S. Air Forces in Europe advance team members make final preparations aboard a KC-135 aircraft before take-off from RAF Mildenhall, U.K. earlier today.  Approximately 30 U.S. Air Forces in Europe members left for Kigali, Rwanda, earlier today to begin preparations for the arrival of two U.S. Air Force C-130 aircraft and approximately 120 Airmen that will support the deployment of African Union forces to the Darfur region of Sudan. The members of the USAFE advance team represent various specialties such as security forces, logistics, contracting, airfield management, communications and other functions necessary to establish airlift operations. The U.S. is working with other international partners, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the European Union to support the AU expansion of the mission to about 3,500 personnel.
