Hi,

I've found the next article today.
I hope you like this news.

Press release, Paris 4th June 2013:

A preparatory meeting (Initial Planning Conference) for next years “Green Shield” which will take place in 2014, and was held on 22nd and 23rd May 2013 at CDAOA (commander of the air defense and air operations) on the basis of Balard in Paris, in the presence of a Saudi delegation.

Since its first edition in 2007, the year Franco-Saudi air-air “Green Shield” is biennial. This part of the activity of bilateral cooperation between the French Air Force and Royal Saudi Air Force. In 2012, the year which included acomponent air-ground missions with type Close Air Support (CAS – Close Air Support), took place in Saudi airspace. But at the next edition in 2014, Saudi Arabia will visit France. The Exercise “Green Shield” is intended to result in air combat fighter pilots of the two countries.

In April 2014, Saudi F-15 Eagle fighter planes and more than twenty French aircraft will be engaged for the exercise at Air Base 133 Nancy-Ochey. Thus, 16 French fighters (ten Mirage 2000, four Rafale and two Alphajets) evolve alongside six Saudi F-15′s. To complete the French air device, E-3F and two Caracal helicopters participating in the exercise.

Exercise Green shield 2014 @ Nancy-Ochey..

Post by maurits »

Hi,

In the SIS summary at this messageboard above exercise is mentioned with participating of six RSaudiAF F-15s. A start date March 29 is mentioned as this is on Saturday... Although these information is known already since a few months no recent info/updates could be found on the net.

I am curious of there any updates available because the exercise should start within two weeks....

TIA...
kind regards,

Maurits

I think that is in error. It says:
Du Samedi 19 Mars au Jeudi 17 Avril 2014,
Samedi is Saturday, so my guess would be that it is Saturday the 29th, not Wednesday the 19th.

Stupid question perhaps, but considering the role of the French Mirages based at Nancy, will the Saudis bring F-15S models this time? 8)

I think I've just found an answer (wishful thinking?) to my question in this phrase:

"Campagne d’entraînement aux missions CAS. Participation attendue d’intervenants étrangers".

CAS= Close Air Support = Ground Attack?

Anyone's guess, but 09.00 to 10.00 for the AM and 13.00 to 14.00 for the PM is most likely.

In the past there have been issues with the Gendarmerie at this base. They may be active with large numbers of people that will no doubt be around LFSO in the coming weeks.
