By JENNIFER H. SVAN | STARS AND STRIPES Published: May 17, 2021 KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany Major improvements to a Romanian base are set to begin this summer as the U.S. Air Force looks to boost its presence and support larger NATO missions in the strategically important Black Sea region. The $152 million in construction projects will enable Campia Turzii air base to support heavy cargo aircraft, host fighter jets and deployed personnel, and quickly respond to any security issues in the region, the Air Force said. The upgrades will also allow the former Soviet airfield to safely receive and store munitions. The Cold War-era base in central Romania is expected to serve as a rotational hub in the future.
Det. 4 is the design and construction manager while AFCEC monitors construction execution to ensure the efforts stay on time and within budget.
The construction, supporting the European Deterrence Initiative implemented by
U.S. European Command, is expected to enhance security across Europe and increase the responsiveness and readiness of U.S. air forces and NATO member state forces in the region.
“The EDI program includes construction of airfield infrastructure and supporting facilities necessary to sustain the Air Force’s combat operations and surveillance missions while also increasing logistics capabilities in the theater,” said U.S. Navy Capt. Scott Raymond, U.S. European Command s Logistics Directorate chief engineer.
