Dover AFB propels US, Tunisia alliance
Airman 1st Class Kalub Kersey, 436th Aerial Port Squadron special cargo processor, and a Tunisian air force airman review a document during a foreign military sales mission at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Jan. 28, 2021. The U.S. was the first major power to recognize Tunisian sovereignty and established relations with Tunisia in 1956 following its independence from France. Since then, Tunisia has become an even more critical partner and a major non-NATO ally, which entails military and economic privileges and is a powerful symbol of the close relationship between the U.S. and Tunisia. Due to its strategic geographic location, Dover AFB supports approximately $3.5 billion worth of FMS operations annually.
