From 1 July 2007, Eindhoven, is the location of the MCCE (Movement Coordination Centre Europe), a fusion of the former European Airlift Centre (EAC), established by the European Air Group, and the Sealift Coordination Centre (SCC). MCCE is a non NATO/ non European military organization. MCCE does not have a proper 'legal status', being an organization open to all Governments whose membership is accepted by all the others participant nations. The Mission of the MCCE is to coordinate the use of Air Transport, Surface Transport (sea and land) and Air-to-Air Refuelling (AAR) capabilities between participating Nations and thereby improve the overall efficiency of the use of owned or leased assets of the national military organisations. The Centre’s main focus will be on strategic movements, but not excluding operational and tactical movements. Participating MCCE countries are: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States of America. The Centre is staffed by 30 military and civilians personnel from the participating countries.
From September 2010 Eindhoven Airport is also hosting the EATC (European Air Transportation Command), composed of 5 European Nations (Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) who are willing to share aerial military assets in a single operative command.

Famous quotes containing the word military:
“I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
—Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
“[I]t is a civil Cowardice to be backward in asserting what you ought to expect, as it is a military Fear to be slow in attacking when it is your Duty.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
