COMMUNICATION |

|
So
many lines, units, airspace control by Air Operations Control
Station... |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/14%20(2).jpg) |
Every
movement by any plane is registered and controlled here. |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/14%20(3).jpg) |
Next
there were many mobile controlcenters on many aspects everywhere in the
field... |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/14%20(4).jpg) |
One
day there was nothing, the other day all of a sudden it was all there on
the spot ! |

SECOND
DAY SAME SECURITY LEVEL
|
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/xtra%20(12).jpg) |
As
stated before, The Hague is situated almost next to the former Naval
Airbase 'Valkenburg'.... |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/xtra%20(8).jpg) |
....and in no-time after
thorough preparations a complete operational airfield (Forward Operating
Base) was born there |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/16%20(1).jpg) |
But
also from distance some actions took place, like the AWACS flights from
Geilenkirchen Germany |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/16%20(2).jpg) |
Not
the most sophisticated aircraft but very useful and very reliable |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/17%20(1).jpg) |
Also
the second day the Apaches took their positions |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/17%20(2).jpg) |

Sneeky
waiting behind bushes and trees it can suddenly act and liquidate if
neccessary |
EMERGENCY
HOSPITALS |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/18-A.jpg) |
Several
emergency field hospitals were built, surgical capable in case of large
disasters |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/18.jpg) |
They
also had their share of exercises... though nothing wrong with the typical
patients |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/xtra%20(5).jpg) |
View
from helicopter |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/19%20(1).jpg) |
The
Chinooks were also prepared for medical actions, though only 'stabilizing
equipped' to transport casualties fast |
![](/01-2014/PenV/NSS/19%20(2).JPG) |
Next
these machines can move (special) units fast where- and whenever needed. |
