The Djiboutian authorities consequently asked U.S. officials to relocate the drones to the rarely used Chabelley Airfield.[3] Thitherto, the Chabelley airstrip had been exclusively reserved in case of need for French military devices.[4] The U.S. Air Force’s 870th Air Expeditionary Squadron operates from the airfield.[2] References1. ^{{GCM|HDCH}} {{Portalbar|Djibouti|Aviation}}{{Airports in Djibouti}}2. ^1 {{cite news |last=Trevithick |first=Joseph |date=5 January 2016 |title=This small airstrip is the future of America’s way of war |url=http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2016/01/05/this-small-airstrip-is-the-future-of-americas-way-of-war/ |newspaper=Reuters |access-date=14 January 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|first1=Craig|last1=Whitlock|first2=Greg|last2=Miller|title=U.S. moves drone fleet from Camp Lemonnier to ease Djibouti’s safety concerns|url=https://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-09-24/world/42357265_1_drone-operations-drone-flights-drone-strikes|accessdate=20 November 2013|newspaper=Washington Post|date=24 September 2013}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=La Corne de l’Afrique, enjeu stratégique majeur |url=http://www.assajog.com/la-corne-de-lafrique-enjeu-strategique-majeur/ |accessdate=20 November 2013 |newspaper=Assajog |date=17 November 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131120093853/http://www.assajog.com/la-corne-de-lafrique-enjeu-strategique-majeur/ |archivedate=November 20, 2013 |language=fr}} External links
