It is made up of 10 shipping containers, equipment weighing 360 tonnes and is staffed by 160 operators. NATO’s Deployable Air Command and Control Centre has been moved by air, land and sea, from its home in Poggio Renatico, Italy, to Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, 600 km south of the DACCC’s home base. The aim was to show NATO’s readiness and ability to swiftly deploy to counter threats to Alliance security. The DACCC, as it’s known, can be deployed to control NATO’s air assets in times of crisis. Footage includes shots of the containers, computer screens, planes and soundbites from various personnel.
