Meanwhile, the DABS-FEV will be based on a US Air Force concept which enhances collection of shelters, construction equipment, vehicles, and other assets to be pre-positioned and transported to other staging sites.
It will also construct a multi-bay vehicle maintenance shop, testing facility, regulating station, above-ground fuel storage tanks, and parking.
“EDI projects like the ones being built in Norway are key to deterring aggression against NATO and ensuring readiness of US, host nation and NATO Allies to fight and win if needed,” EDI Program Manager Paul Audije explained.
“We’re excited to be working with our US Air Force, Norwegian Ministry of Defence, Norwegian Defence Estates Agency and US Embassy partners to move these projects from the drawing board to reality in the coming years.”
