The organisation and capacities of the 4th French Airmobile Force, as model of integration of helicopters and surface units, were the main point of the presentation that a delegation of this unit, together with its chief, General Bertrand Vallete d´Osia, made on 7th March at the headquarters of the Spanish Army Airmbobile Force (FAMET) in Colmenar Viejo (Madrid).

Some other aspects were addressed, such as the planning of the ‘Baccarat’ multinational exercise that will be conducted in France during the second semester 2019, with the participation of a tactical group under Spanish command, with French and Spanish helicopters and light units.

After the work meeting, the French soldiers visited the 5thTransport Helicopter Battalion and the Light Helicopter Subgroup from the 2nd Emergency Helicopter Battalion and the simulation centre of the Aviation Academy of the Army.

This meeting is part of the partnership programme formalised between the 4th Airmobile Brigade, part of the French Aviation Légère de l'Armée de Terre and the FAMET in 2016. This programme includes mutual visits and and yearly programme of bilateral activities, as well as exchange of teachers.
