Belgium To End Kabul Airport Protection Mission
Belgium is ending its longest mission in Afghanistan, the protection of Kabul International Airport (KAIA), over the next few months. Starting in October, the mission will be taken over by a multinational unit under French command and including Portuguese, Hungarian and Albanian troops. Belgium has been conducting the mission with around 250 troops since the beginning of 2003. Belgium will continue to participate in other NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) missions in Afghanistan. In Kabul, it will continue to have personnel assigned to ISAF headquarters and in various Afghan National Army (ANA) schools. In Kandahar, where Belgium has a detachment of F-16s, four Belgian instructors are mentoring the Afghan National Air Force, and Belgian surgeons are working in the base's military hospital. In Kunduz, Belgian personnel are supporting the provincial reconstruction team and are members of military advisory teams advising, training and supporting the ANA. Finally, Belgian instructors are teaching at the ANA engineering school in Mazar-e-Sharif.

Belgische leger heeft nieuwe stafchef
wo 11/07/2012 - 23:26
Minister van Defensie Pieter De Crem draagt luitenant-generaal
Gerard Van Caelenberge voor als nieuwe stafchef van het Belgische leger.
De 59-jarige Van Caelenberge is momenteel dienstdoend stafchef.
De kandidatuur van Van Caelenberge wordt
officieel pas vrijdag besproken op de ministerraad, maar de
regeringspartijen zijn het eens over zijn voordracht.
Van Caelenberge volgt Charles-Henri Delcour op, die in maart ontslag
nam nadat hij drie jaar het leger geleid had. Van Caelenberge maakte
carrière bij de luchtmacht. Hij wordt benoemd voor een periode van vier
jaar.

Belgian Shopping Spree
On 6 July, the council of ministers of the Belgian government authorized Defense Minister Pieter De Crem to issue calls for tender under the 2012 defense investment plan. These include calls for tender for 70 remote weapons stations for the Light Multipurpose Vehicle (LMV), 4,500 modular carbines with day sights to replace FNC rifles currently in service, and two ready duty ships for coast guard duties.
This is part of the 242 million
euros in defense investments approved by the council of ministers on 11
May. The 2012 defense investment plan also includes acquisition of
short- and medium-range anti-fortification and anti-armor weapons to
replace the Milan anti-tank guided missile, the Personal Defence Weapon
to replace the GP 9mm pistol, and 90 mm practice ammunition for the
Piranha III Armoured Infantry Vehicle (AIV) for the Belgian army.
For the air force, the F-16 Commonality
and Interoperability Consolidation Program will be continued, four
advanced targeting pods will be acquired, as will equipment for forward
air controllers, ground-to-air radios for local air traffic control, and
new airfield firefighting vehicles.
Finally, Multinational Space-based
Imaging System (MUSIS) satellite communication terminals will replace
the existing obsolete terminals.
