The 19th annual Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling conference and exhibition (http://www.military-airlift.com/openpr) will commence in Rome on the 4th and 5th December 2018.

In the run up to the event, SMi Group have released an exclusive interview with Group Captain David Akrong, Acting Chief of the Continental Movement Coordination Centre, who will be presenting at the conference on:

‘How the Continental Movement Coordination Centre Is Building the Logistic Capability of African Air Forces’, covering:

• An introduction to the work of the Continental Movement Coordination Centre and its role and scope
• How African nations have taken the lead on UN-backed peacekeeping missions in the region and what this means for logistical demands on military forces
• How the CMCC feeds into the wider African Standby Force concept and key timelines for implementation
• Exploiting both commercial and military airlift capability and roadmap for an African led airlift exercise
• Training plans for utilisation of effective C2 within African-led airlift operations
• Future priorities for the centre and working with key international partners as part of this approach
