The facility will optimize response times and offer more strategic options in terms of inspection, loading, and distribution of paratroopers across covered locations.

It will eventually become a “crucial hub for the rapid outload of equipment” that will enhance interoperability with the US Air Force on future missions.

“When we started, this was a parking lot, a blank space of land,” USACE Italy Projects Resident Engineer Evan Taylor stated.

“In the matter of a year and a half we were able to construct a fully functional warehouse that can help support the troops in fulfilling their mission.”
