SAC trains at Swedish offsite location


Pápa, 8 September 2022 - A Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) C-17 and crew spent a week training on airdrops with cargo and personnel, loading oversized cargo and practicing ground to air defensive maneuvers in the Luleå area of Member Nation Sweden.

The offsite training area, suitable for low-level flying, is close to the Norwegian and Finnish borders. This allowed the C-17 and its crews to train with units from Member Nations Norway and Finland in addition to collaboration with training host Sweden.

The week-long training mission maintained and enhanced SAC capabilities in addition to providing an opportunity to undertake team building exercises for participating SAC personnel.
