Belgium Marks Five Years in Kandahar
This month marks the fifth year of the Belgian presence in
Kandahar as part of NATO's International Security Assistance Force
(ISAF) in Afghanistan.
This
presence consists mainly of four F-16s of the Belgian air force's 10th
Tactical Wing from Kleine-Brogel and the 2nd Tactical Wing from
Florennes providing air support to ISAF but also medical, signals and
logistics units. Since 2008, there have been 15 rotations by a total of
1,938 Belgian personnel and 4,000 sorties totaling 14,000 hours.
The
Belgian contingent in Kandahar was initially accommodated in tents,
which were replaced by containers and since last year has been based in
buildings, providing better protection from attack and weather
conditions.
The future of the Belgian contingent in Kandahar after 2014 must still be decided.

"ComOpsAir goes MS"
On 26 and 27 September 2013 some forty persons
suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) accompanied by 60 members of the
operational command of the Belgian Air Component led by Major-General
Claude Van de Voorde himself are going to climb the Mont Ventoux in France. Since many
years the Belgian Air Force has been helping the different sections of the
"Belgian MS League” by organising specific actions for the benefit of
the association. A typical event was the Charity Run organised on June 22nd, 2013
by the Belgian F-16 detachment at Kandahar airbase in Afghanistan, but nearer
to home well known examples are the KB Motor run at Kleine Brogel airbase and
the Indian Day organised by the 15th Wing at Melsbroek airbase.
MS is an inflammatory disease in which the
insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This
damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate,
resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental,
and sometimes psychiatric problems. The sportive action to climb the Mont
Ventoux must be seen as an encouragement to fight against these symptoms by
"keeping on moving". This is physically beneficial but certainly also
improves the mental health of the patients.
The Belgian Air Component is one of the most dynamic
and enthusiast sponsors of the Belgian MS leagues and is particularly
appreciated by the organisations.
