CF to start using Spangdahlem Air Base

The US Air Force reports that the Canadian Forces will start using Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany to support overseas operations.

Spangdahlem AB, already being referred to in the Canadian military as "Euro-Hub," becomes the first in what is expected to become of web of seven locations to be developed and kept in readiness for theater activation and support. U.S. Air Force personnel at the base won't notice much of a Canadian Forces presence -- perhaps a half-dozen Canadian Operational Support Command specialists -- as the Canadians work with their American and German counterparts to plan for any future contingency.
