THE LEAD role in the Baltic Air Policing (BAP) mission has been handed over from the Portuguese Air Force to the Belgian Air Component. Responsibility for air defence over the Baltic States was exchanged at Siauliai air base, Lithuania on August 31. The 48th rotation in the mission is the seventh for Belgian Air Component F-16s deployed to the region. The detachment from Florennes and Kleine Brogel air bases will remain in Lithuania until the end of the year.
