The Traffic and Transportation Division of the German Armed Forces Command US/CA receives material owned by the German government (German Ministry of Defense) on aircraft owned or leased by the German Air Force, and subsequently forwards the material within the U.S. or to Canada. The material is destined to private and U.S. government depots for repair, modification or overhaul, before it is returned to Germany. The material may also be forwarded to German military installations (e.g., Holloman AFB, NM, or Fort Bliss, Tx) and joint exercise areas within the U.S.

The aircraft are at all times under the complete control of members of the German Air Force or, when leased, allied NATO partners. The aircraft leased by the German Air Force are also military aircraft, and when they are utilized they are also under the complete control of those NATO members’ respective military forces at all times.

  • Site of one of the best Oktoberfest celebrations in the area.
  • One of my favorite sights at Dulles, is the colorful German military guard shack at the entrance gate to this facility. Probably the only one of its kind in North America.
  • Well, there's GAFADC at Fort Bliss, Texas but, it doesn't hold a candle to Dulles.
