U.S. military, Romanian military and U.S. Embassy partners joined for ribbon cutting ceremonies September 19, 2023 at Air Base 71 near Campia Turzii, Romania to highlight the recently completed hangar, parking apron and squadron operation facility projects, which are part of a larger, more than $100 million construction program at the base funded through the United States’ European Deterrence Initiative. These projects will contribute to the readiness and responsiveness of U.S. forces in Europe, reinforce the collective defense and security of NATO allies, and support of our shared goals of regional security.
