Portuguese Force (Paratroopers) trains with Pakistani aviation unit in the Central African Republic
The Portuguese Rapid Reaction Force, of the 7th National Force deployed in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, carried out, on March 20, a joint training with the Pakistani aviation unit.
This training of adaptation to the means served to test their interoperability, as well as to prepare actions for aerial medical evacuation and helitransport, being important to exponentiate the reaction capacity of the Rapid Reaction Force and to make the coordination of means easier and more fluid.
The team of Advanced Air Controllers of the Portuguese Air Force had the opportunity to contact the Pakistani Helis and check the interoperability with them, creating synergies to improve their performance.
The health module trained evacuation procedures, thus contributing to an increase in evacuation efficiency, if necessary.
The Companhia de Manobra (manuver company) trained helitransport procedures, as well as the “top cover” provided by these means.
The elements of the Pakistani aviation unit managed to transmit their needs for the interoperability of the means, thus achieving synergies with the Portuguese force for future operations.
“Que que nunca por vencidos se conheçam”.
