Logistical Support for Rapid Deployment Forces. French obligations in Africa require a capability to support military operations overseas based on good knowledge of local conditions and, wherever feasible, on prepositioned materiel. Long range logistics (e.g. cargo aircraft, communications, fuel supplies, field hospitals in support of substantial forces mobilized at short notice cannot be improvized. Epervier (Chad, 1986) and Promethée (Gulf of Oman, 1987) are two examples of ongoing RDF operations.
