A team deployed to Sudan to conduct urgent airfield damage repair as part of the UK Joint Task Force.
The airfield was being used to evacuate Entitled People by multiple nations. This is the first time Airfield Damage Repair has conducted on Operations since the Falklands War.
The airfield being used by multiple nations to evacuate entitled people was in a poor state of repair, further exacerbated by the high tempo of heavy, multinational military transport aircraft The work enabled the continued evacuation of UK and other nations’ entitled people.
