Aircraft MMF4/T-057 of the Multinational MRTT Fleet (MMF) was delivered to the unit the day after ownership was transferred via the Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) from Airbus Defence and Space (DS) to the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), which manages the fleet on behalf of the MMF nations.
The MMF capability comprises NATO members Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Norway, with the MMU operating unit composed of military personnel from these six participating nations. The capability provides pooled access to aerial refuelling (hose-and-drogue and boom/receptacle), strategic passenger and cargo airlift, and aero-medical evacuation (medevac) capabilities.
