Maj. Benzi Zimerman,

I am connecting you to Charles Prichard in the 
EUCOM press office. Below is the statement they are using for media regarding today’s C-17 flight.

Charles, Maj. Zimerman is handling press inquiries from Israeli media. I leave it to you to coordinate further for response to queries. 

Yours,

Approximately 120 DoD personnel arrived in Germany from Israel today via a C17 aircraft based out of Ramstein Air Base. We made the decision in coordination with Israel. The personnel, from throughout DoD, were in Israel for a routine planning event as part of our exercise cycle in support of longstanding bilateral agreements with Israel. The event was scheduled to wrap up this week. Most personnel arrived via civilian aircraft, which is normal for these events, and now in Germany, will make plans to return to their home bases/stations as appropriate.
