South Korea using KC-330 to rotate Akh special forces unit in UAE

South Korea will be dispatching its KC-330 for its first overseas mission this month when one aircraft will be used to rotate the 707th Special Mission Group contingent in United Arab Emirates.


The 707th Special Mission Group (제707특수임무단) is an elite counter-terrorism unit of the Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command. Since 2011, the 707th Special Mission Group has maintained a 170-strong Akh unit in the UAE to help train local troops. This upcoming deployment is to bring the 17th batch there.

South Korea bought 4 A330s Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) in 2015 and induct the first into service in January 2019.
