卡塔尔将在美国的支持下,从2025年开始在伊达霍的山地国内空军基地培训F-15飞行员。
Qatar will train F-15 pilots at Idaho’s Mountain Home Air Force Base with U.S. support, starting in 2025.
2025年10月,国防部长Pete Hegseth宣布,位于伊达霍的山地国内空军基地将主办卡塔尔埃米尔空军培训设施,让卡塔尔F-15和飞行员与美国部队一起培训,以加强互操作性。
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced in October 2025 that Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho will host a Qatar Emiri Air Force training facility, allowing Qatari F-15s and pilots to train with U.S. forces to enhance interoperability.
该项目至少从2017年开始规划,并经过2022年的环境评估确认,将在美国现有基础设施内运作,由卡塔尔供资和管理该设施,而美国则负责施工和安全。
The project, planned since at least 2017 and confirmed with a 2022 environmental assessment, will operate within existing U.S. infrastructure, with Qatar funding and managing the facility while the U.S. handles construction and security.
此举沿用了美国长期主办联合培训方案的做法,类似于与新加坡、德国和波兰的培训方案,并受到Idaho山区之家当地官员的欢迎,他们自2023年访问卡塔尔以来一直参与规划。
The move follows the longstanding U.S. practice of hosting allied training programs, similar to those with Singapore, Germany, and Poland, and was welcomed by local officials in Mountain Home, Idaho, who have been involved in planning since a 2023 visit to Qatar.
