In October 2011 the German Federal Ministry of Defence announced a reorganisation/reduction of the German Armed Forces. As a consequence, Army Aviation Medium Transport Regiment 15 and all auxiliary units will disband in 2018.[1] The only remaining military personnel will be employed at the defence depot. This means that the number of military personnel at the air base will be reduced by almost 94 per cent to 120.[2] The helicopters stationed at Rheine Air Base will be relocated to Laupheim Air Base in Southern Germany where they will be integrated into a newly created German Air Force squadron.[3]
