It's in the numbers

The success of the U.S. Transportation Command is being heralded by the Armed Forces Press Agency. They certainly have been busy supplying troops in Iraq and Afghanistan along with their other tasks including humanitarian assistance.

One of the pressures on the system has been the delivery of MRAPs to theatre. Illustrating this point are the air and sea deliveries for this program which have now reached a confirmed total of 5,200 units.

NAMSA Signs MOU with Israel

"On 21 November, in a ceremony held at NAMSA, the Agency signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Logistic Support Cooperation with Israel.

The MOU is of particular importance to many NATO nations currently operating equipment of Israeli origin as it facilitates access to Israeli industry for the acquisition of unique spares and services. Currently NAMSA has to go through a lengthy authorisation process to acquire these. It is expected that the MOU will permit to simplify and expedite this process, for the benefit of NATO members."
