A SINGAPORE Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft with 36 men left here on Wednesday morning for the Gulf region for a three-month deployment.
The Defence Ministry said in a statement that it is Singapore's latest contribution to the multinational reconstruction efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The KC-135 tanker aircraft will conduct air-to-air refuelling missions in support of the coalition forces.
Singapore has since 2003 sent four deployments of KC-135 tanker aircraft, four deployments of Landing Ships Tank and one deployment of a C-130 transport aircraft to the Gulf region.
