Multinational wing completes first mission into Iraq: "A recent flight into Iraq marks another unit milestone for the multinational Heavy Airlift Wing based at Pápa Air Base, Hungary.
The airlift mission into Iraq was the first by the wing, which comprises 12 member nations, and facilitated the deployment for members of the NATO Training Mission-Iraq.
'Each time we fly a mission into a different area of responsibility, it confirms the 12-nation commitment to support each other's national requirements without regard to whether an individual nation has troops involved in that area,' Col. John Zazworsky, HAW commander, said. 'Like each of our other missions to date, we flew this mission with multinational crew members in all crew positions.'"
