CV-22s complete first operational deployment


by 1st Lt. Lauren Johnson
1st Special Operations Wing Public Affairs

12/3/2008 - HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AFNS) -- Four CV-22 Ospreys from the 8th Special Operations Squadron here returned after completing their first operational deployment broke supporting Exercise Flintlock 2009 in November in Bamako, Mali.

The aircraft supported the training exercise in the Trans-Saharan region designed to build relationships and capacity and to enhance African nations' ability to patrol and control their sovereign territory.

The exercise included personnel from 15 countries, and the CV-22 served as a platform for multinational training. Specifically, the aircraft was used to transport Malian and Senegalese special operations forces and their leadership teams.

"We did long range, vertical lift, and dropped (teams) off at a landing zone," said Capt. Dennis Woodlief, an 8th SOS pilot. "They practiced their ground movements, then we brought them back."

Missions like this allowed the CV-22 to take advantage of its unique capabilities as a tilt rotor aircraft, said Lt. Col. Eric Hill, the 8th SOS squadron commander.

"The tyranny of distance in the African continent is amazing," he said. "We were able to go over 500 nautical miles, infiltrate a small team for them to run their exercise, and bring them back all the way to home base without doing an air refueling stop. And we were able to do that in the span of about four hours. "

"It would take the MH-53 (Pave Low) twice, sometimes three times as long (to do these missions)," Captain Woodlief said. "And we did it with just one aircraft."

Colonel Hill said the CV-22 is an "unprecedented capability." And with the new capability, there were also new lessons to be learned.

"We learned some lessons like we always do on different equipment we'd like to have and requirements that we'll have in the future," he said.

Many of those lessons revolve around tailoring maintenance packages for future deployments.

Members of the 1st Special Operations Helicopter Maintenance Squadron deployed to Bamako in support of the 8th SOS. Because the exercise was held at a remote location rather than an established base, one of the maintenance challenges was self-deploying with all the parts and equipment they needed to keep the CV-22s operational for the entire exercise, and for the cumulative 10,000 nautical mile trans-Atlantic flights.

"We have a laundry list about three pages long of things we'd like to take next time," said Master Sgt. Craig Kornely, the squadron's lead production supervisor. "As we grow into the machine, we realize our needs for equipment and resources."

But despite the challenges of operating a new aircraft for the first time overseas and in an austere environment, the squadron had a perfect mission success rate during the exercise.

"We had zero maintenance cancels, zero delays, and we executed 100 percent every time," Captain Woodlief said. "I think we went above and beyond everyone's expectations."

20 BTR-60 destinés au Mali et 1000 armes légères bloqués

La Guinée bloque dans le navire transporteur 20 BTR-60 bulgares achetés par l'ancien président malien déchu, de peur qu'ils tombent dans de mauvaises mains, le Sénégal pour sa part bloque au port du Dakar une cargaison de 1000 armes légères destinées au Mali également.

A source monitoring international arms shipments said that about 20 BTR-60 armoured personnel carriers (APCs), ordered by ousted President Amadou Toumani Toure, were being blocked onboard a ship that had sailed from Bulgaria.

Bakary Mariko, a spokesman for Mali's CNRDRE former junta, blamed ECOWAS and the African Union for Guinea's freezing of the shipment, which he said included about a dozen APCs. He said a shipment of 1,000 light arms had been blocked also at the Senegalese port of Dakar.

ah bain tien croyait que le pays était sous embargo militaire ?

en attendant les images des SU-25 voici une photo d'un MI-24

[scorpion-rouge35]

donc l'armée malienne va recevoir des orgues de Staline probablement des BM-21 , des BRDM et deux MI-24 qui sont bloquer en Bulgarie

Mali : une armée... désarmée

Pour reconquérir le Nord, Bamako compte notamment sur des blindés commandés il y a plusieurs mois mais bloqués à Conakry. Ceux-ci pourraient être acheminés vers la capitale malienne, dans le cadre de l'accord entre le Mali et la Cedeao sur une intervention africaine contre les groupes islamistes armés.



Les militaires maliens disent ne pas avoir besoin de l'intervention de troupes étrangères au sol.

Le 27 juillet, un cargo battant pavillon turc en provenance de Bulgarie accoste au port de Conakry. Scène ordinaire dans ce terminal où transitent notamment les marchandises à destination du Mali. Mais lorsqu'elles prennent connaissance de la nature du chargement, les autorités guinéennes s'alarment.

Et pour cause : le navire s'apprête à débarquer toute une cargaison d'armes lourdes à destination de Bamako. Informé, le président Alpha Condé saisit ses pairs de la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (Cedeao). Que faire de ces conteneurs ? Les livrer à l'armée malienne, contrôlée de fait par l'ex-putschiste Amadou Haya Sanogo ? Hors de question. L'institution sous-régionale décide d'un embargo.


Dans la capitale guinéenne, on assure avoir voulu bien faire. « Nous avons agi dans l'intérêt du peuple malien, car à ce moment-là nous n'avions pas d'interlocuteur à Bamako », justifie Abdoul Kabèlè Camara, ministre délégué à la Défense. Il invoque des directives sécuritaires de la Cedeao et rappelle que les armes sont arrivées à Conakry le jour où Dioncounda Traoré, le président de la transition, revenait à Bamako après de longues semaines de convalescence à Paris. À l'époque, poursuit-il, on se demandait encore qui commandait vraiment au Mali. La composition du gouvernement d'union nationale réclamé par la sous-région ne devait être annoncée que vingt-quatre jours plus tard.

Fragilisés

Une fois les exigences de la Cedeao satisfaites, on s'attendait, au camp militaire de Kati (où Sanogo a élu résidence), à réceptionner la livraison tant attendue. En vain. Le 6 septembre, le secrétaire général du ministère malien de la Défense, le colonel-major Mamadou Idrissa Coulibaly, est donc dépêché à Conakry pour débloquer le dossier. Le même jour, à Bamako, un groupe de manifestants se dirige vers l'ambassade de Guinée. Objectif : faire pression. Devant l'important dispositif de sécurité déployé, le sit-in est finalement annulé. Un participant, très actif au sein du Mouvement populaire du 22 mars, favorable au coup d'État, maintient pourtant que « tout ce qui manque à l'armée, c'est cette logistique que la Cedeao bloque par des manoeuvres politiciennes ».

Car il est au moins un point sur lequel les chefs d'État de la sous-région sont tombés d'accord : ils ne veulent pas que l'ex-junte accapare tous les moyens d'exercice du pouvoir (en l'occurrence, les armes) au détriment d'autorités civiles qui ont été, ces derniers mois, grandement fragilisées. Au sein de l'armée malienne, on confirme que « cette situation est politique avant d'être militaire », et l'on assure que « ces armes peuvent constituer un plus dans la grande opération de reconquête du Nord », que l'on tient à réaliser sans intervention de troupes étrangères au sol.

Lance-roquettes

Renseignement pris, il s'avère que le matériel militaire a été commandé par le président Amadou Toumani Touré bien avant le coup d'État de mars dernier. Une partie a déjà été livrée courant juillet. Les armes ont été achetées en Bulgarie, en Biélorussie et en Ukraine ; il y aurait, rien qu'au port de Conakry, une dizaine de blindés légers (type BRDM) et de véhicules de transport de troupes ainsi que des « orgues de Staline » (camions équipés de lance-roquettes). À Bamako, une source militaire dit également vouloir mettre la main sur une vingtaine de pick-up bloqués au port d'Abidjan et sur des armes et des munitions en attente à Dakar et à Lomé. Elle précise que deux hélicoptères de combat, commandés eux aussi du temps d'ATT, sont bloqués en Ukraine.

Les chefs d'État devaient se réunir à Abidjan le 17 septembre et évoquer la question des armes bloquées à Conakry. Ils se prononceront quand les experts de la Cedeao, du Mali et de la Guinée auront terminé d'en faire l'inventaire. « Nous sommes maintenant dans l'attente », avoue-t-on au ministère malien de la Défense. La crainte, au palais de Koulouba comme à Kati, c'est d'attendre indéfiniment. Mais le récent accord ente la Cedeao et Bamako sur les conditions de déploiement d'une force ouest-africaine, le 23 septembre, laisse de bonnes chances de voir cette situation se résoudre prochainement.
