The European Air Transport Command (EATC) is a command centre that directs the use of most military fixed wing air transport assets owned by the three Benelux countries, France and Germany. Located at Eindhoven Airbase in the Netherlands, it aims to provide a more efficient use of the air transport capacities by means of pooling the various assets, and thereby making them available to the participating nations. It is in the European Defence Agency's "category A" for defence programmes between member states.
