Background
The Swedish Government has decided that Sweden within the EU-concept for rapid reaction forces shall act as a framework nation for organizing a Battle Group (BG) from 2008-01-01 to 2008-06-30 together with Finland, Norway and Estonia. Therefore, during this period of time, Sweden must have a capability to deploy, within 30 days, the Battle Group, including 6000 tons of military equipment, from Sweden to the area of responsibility 4000 NM away. Around ¼ of the cargo is oversized.
After the BG engagement, Sweden foresees an increasing need for oversize air transport capability compared to the current, and by 2011, a long term Swedish capability in the same order as during the BG engagement, will be preferred.
FMV is open for discussions on all possible kinds of solutions (leasing, pooling and buying).
