German Air Force at Dulles

Two or three times a week, a massive turbo-prop German transport plane lands at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC. Washington is the command center for German military operations in the US and Canada - a major operation, considering that over 1,500 soldiers are currently active in the region. In Norfolk, the German Navy works with NATO partners on training missions. In Tampa, a German attaché is stationed at CENTCOM, the US central command for the Middle East.
