Five separate roles for Air Force are; surveillance, transport of personnel and transport of supplies/equipment; support to the civil authorities or civil community, and training.〔http://www.mod.gov.na Accessed 2007/07/27〕 With Grootfontein as the main air base, expansion projects are underway to expand the Keetmanshoop air base, as well as construct a new base at Karibib. This was reported by ''The Namibian'' on 20 June 2008. The policy for the Air Force is as follows ''To acquire dedicated air assets to undertake the surveillance and transport tasks. The MOD and NDF will train and employ their own pilots and technicians. Co-operation and co-ordination with other Ministries may extend to making such assets available for non-defence tasking. In addition, consideration will be given to arrangements whereby private and other national air assets could be employed where appropriate or necessary.'' ==Aircraft== 12 Chengdu F-7 Airguard jets were delivered in 2006 and 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Namibian Air Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
