才晚一天就變過期新聞,只好乖乖打20字備註了
這個霍洛曼是指駐美德國空軍的主基地,感覺有點像路克空軍基地之於台灣

新墨州國會議員:讓德國空軍繼續駐在美國霍洛曼
NM Congressmen: Keep German Air Force presence at Holloman
阿拉莫戈多每日新聞 http://goo.gl/d0U54U 2016年3月2日
【華盛頓訊】美國參議員馬丁·海因里希、湯姆·尤德爾和眾議員史蒂夫・皮爾斯於星期
三致信歐巴馬總統,敦促他支持一份互利協議,讓德國空軍在美國霍洛曼空軍基地能夠繼
續保留成效良多的駐軍。
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall, and U.S. Rep.
Steve Pearce sent a letter to President Obama urging him to advocate for a
mutually beneficial arrangement that will allow the German Air Force,
Luftwaffe, to maintain a productive presence in the United States at Holloman
Air Force Base Wednesday.
由於預算限制增加,德國空軍總監(註:在英語稱為空軍參謀長)已要求對德國國內的兩
支龍捲風戰機作戰聯隊進行加強,不再與霍洛曼空軍基地續訂合約。
Due to increasing budget constraints, the Chief of Staff of the German Air
Force has recommended consolidation of its two operational Tornado wings in
Germany and to not renew the contract with Holloman Air Force Base.
此次上書不久後,總統就將與德國總理安格拉·梅克爾會晤,而艾許·卡特國防部長下週
也將與德國防長烏蘇拉·馮德萊恩開會。
The letter was sent in advance of the president’s upcoming meeting with German
Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter’s meeting next
week with German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen.
議員們寫道「德國空軍飛行訓練中心有助於我們兩國的重要同盟,也為德美兩軍之間的聯
合演習創造獨特而價值匪淺的機會」「新墨西哥州的天氣、地形和良好的空域可將每年的
飛行時日增長到比世界上其他地方都多,也能讓德方的訓練環境與他們在當今衝突中所面
臨的環境相同。於目前的環境威脅下,美國和德國在不久後的將來可能會涉入相似的衝突
之中」。
“The German Air Force Flying Training Center (GAFFTC) facilitates the
important alliance between our two nations, creating unique and valuable
opportunities for combined training opportunities between our two militaries,”
the lawmakers wrote. “New Mexico’s weather, terrain, and exceptional
airspace allow for more flight days per year than anywhere else in the world
and have allowed the Germans to train in conditions they experience in today’s
conflicts. With the current threat environment, it is likely the United States
and Germany will be engaged in similar conflicts for the foreseeable future.”
1958年起,德國空軍便至美國訓練機組員,在其於1992年將主要的飛行任務遷到霍洛曼進
行之前,受訓地點曾遍及全美各地數座基地。德國空軍飛訓中心在霍洛曼的任務是培訓未
來的龍捲風戰機機組人員。
The German Air Force has been training its aircrews in the United States since
1958. GAF training took place on various bases throughout the United States
before moving its primary mission to Holloman Air Force Base in 1992. The
mission of the German Air Force Flying Training Center at Holloman is to train
future Tornado aircrews.
德國空軍來到霍洛曼之後,阿拉莫戈多的德國居民共達1200人,當中包括軍眷。
Since the arrival of GAF at Holloman there are 1,200 Germans, including their
dependents, living in Alamogordo.
2013年時,德國空軍飛行訓練中心成為整個德國駐美空軍部隊的指揮部。
In 2013, the German Air Force Flying Center became the headquarters for the
entire German Air Force Command in the Continental United States.
議員們又說「美國應鼓勵德方繼續運作霍洛曼基地的德國空軍飛訓中心」「因此我們請您
與梅克爾總理一起達成互利協議,讓目前正好於霍洛曼空軍基地待滿20年的德軍能夠在日
後繼續駐兵」。
“The United States should encourage the Germans to continue to operate the
GAFFTC at HAFB,” the law makers wrote. “We therefore request that you work
with Chancellor Merkel to find a mutually beneficial arrangement that will
allow the German military to maintain a presence at Holloman Air Force Base
during this 20 year anniversary and beyond.”
尤德爾參議員、海因里希參議員和皮爾斯眾議員在上個月與德國駐美大使彼得·維蒂希一
起討論決策背後的緣由,並敦請德方繼續駐在霍洛曼,
Sens. Udall and Heinrich, and Rep. Pearce met with German Ambassador Peter
Wittig last month to discuss the rationale behind the decision and to urge the
Germans to retain their presence at Holloman.
